About Yoshino:

Hakushika's taru sake (barrel-aged sake), "Yoshino," is named after the famous Yoshino Forest in Nara Prefecture. For over 500 years, fine Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) has been produced in the Yoshino Forest through meticulous care and continuous reforestation efforts. The Japanese cedar of Yoshino is known as a fragrant wood of luxury and has been the preferred wood for centuries to produce fine Japanese sake barrels "taru."
