Hakutsuru Sake Brewing Co., Ltd.'s "Hakutsuru Awayuki Sparkling" has won a Gold Medal in the Sparkling SAKE category at the "Fine Sake Awards 2026 (*)." In this category, the quality of the effervescence is a key evaluation criterion, so the judging is conducted using vintage champagne glasses.

"Hakutsuru Awayuki Sparkling" is a sparkling sake that embodies the brand message "Awazuppai" (a play on words combining 'bubbles' and 'sweet-and-sour'), offering a sweet and refreshing taste with a fruit-like aroma. We invite everyone to experience the charm of this sake, which has been highly rated in champagne glasses.
