Bursting with
nature’s blessings
Junmai Daiginjo sake and Fresh fruits juice,

Japanese liqueur that only a sake brewery

Junmai Daiginjo sake and
Japanese fruits,
a fusion of two Japanese
delectables Japanese liqueur
that only a sake brewery
could produce
“We are a sake brewery.
How about making liqueur with our sake?”
“If we are using sake,
why not pair it with Fresh fruits juice?”
These simple wishes started our journey
to create HAKUSHIKA HANA-KOHAKU.
We use 100% Junmai Daiginjo sake
brewed in-house.
Fruits were selected based on the criteria
that their names could be written
in hiragana.
The sake, the fruit juices,
and the gentle sweetness are
all blessings from nature.
By paying close attention to
the ingredients to maximize flavor and color,
we have created a wonderful liqueur
that is
the perfect blend of
Junmai Daiginjo sake flavor
and aroma and rich fruit flavors.
The origin of HANA-KOHAKU and the label story


- The origin -
HANA-KOHAKU is a Japanese liqueur with natural colors of fruit juices. The liqueur shines amber inside the bottle. The name HANA-KOHAKU was created by combining KOHAKU, or amber, with HANA, or flower, which is the stage before the fruit that we use forms and ripens. The name represents the gorgeous taste and aroma and embodies the beautiful, transparent amber color.
Amber is a gemstone derived from tree sap, and it actually comes in a variety of colors. Similarly, HANA-KOHAKU varies in color, depending on the fruit and the lot of the fruit juices used.
We hope you enjoy the unique, varied beauty inside each HANA-KOHAKU bottle.
- About the label -
The first of the HANA-KOHAKU series to be launched was Plum.
The Japanesque design expresses the firm yet elegant harmony of Junmai Daiginjo sake and the fruit, inspired by the “umemusubi,” or plum knot, of mizuhiki knot-tying art. While different fruits decorate the logo, the plum knot stays constant, expressing the harmony between each fruit and Junmai Daiginjo sake.
Our commitment


Junmai Daiginjo sake
brewed in-house
A taste with depth and clarity, and a gentle yet distinct presence of the ginjo aroma. Since 1662, Tatsuuma-Honke Brewing has been passing down its extraordinary techniques for more than 360 years. Our Junmai Daiginjo is our pride and joy, and using it as the base realized a liqueur with a mild yet robust sake tone.
Fresh juices from
fruits
We squeeze fresh fruits that have been long-loved by the Japanese people and carefully blend the juices with our sake to create refreshing flavors not found in fruit-infused liqueurs.
No artificial sweeteners,
colorants or flavors.
We bring out the true taste of the fruit juices and use no artificial sweeteners. We also use no colorants so that we can enjoy the unique, natural, clear colors. This is a liqueur that delights both the tongue and the eyes.
