Product details
Hakkaisan Daiginjo Hyotan 45 is an elegant expression from Hakkaisan Brewery in Niigata, Japan, shaped by the region’s snowy winter climate and the brewery’s long-standing dedication to refined craftsmanship. For this expression, carefully selected Yamada Nishiki and Gohyakumangoku rice are polished to 45%, then prepared using handmade koji and pristine spring water from Raiden-sama no Shimizu, a natural source fed by melting snow from Mount Hakkai. The brewery’s approach emphasizes precision and consistency, resulting in a clean and refined style designed to complement cuisine. Presented in the distinctive Hyotan bottle, this compact format offers the same carefully developed character in a traditional-inspired presentation.
Hakkaisan Daiginjo Hyotan 45 offers a delicate, mellow, and clean profile with an alluring aroma and a subtle, refined sweetness. Its gentle character and polished texture allow the flavors of seasonal dishes to remain at the forefront while adding an elegant complement to the meal. It can be paired with a variety of savory dishes, including fried horse mackerel, grilled salmon, roast beef, and Mexican street corn.
