Product details
Hakkaisan LA Dodgers Special Release Junmai Daiginjo is a special limited-edition sake celebrating the partnership between Hakkaisan Brewery and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Founded in 1922 at the foot of sacred Mt. Hakkaisan in Niigata Prefecture, Hakkaisan has become renowned for its pure, elegant sake rooted in nearly a century of craftsmanship. This collaboration brings together the rich traditions of Japanese sake brewing and the iconic spirit of American baseball, offering Dodgers fans and sake enthusiasts alike a unique cultural experience.
Brewed with the soft, pristine water that begins as deep Niigata snowfall—sometimes over 10 feet—that filters through mountain soil before emerging at the brewery’s dedicated spring, this sake embodies purity and finesse. Its fragrance is delicately floral with gentle notes of melon and pear, while the palate is smooth, clean, and lightly rounded with a refined touch of natural sweetness. A soft acidity provides balance, and the finish is fresh and graceful, reflecting the clarity of the snowmelt water central to all Hakkaisan production. Served chilled, it pairs beautifully with citrus-accented seafood like oysters, scallop crudo, or fresh sashimi. It also complements simple grilled fish, delicate salads, and lightly salted edamame—ideal for enjoying during a Dodgers game or any moment of celebration.
