This beautiful Junmai Daiginjo is aged for a minimum of 3 years in Hakkai Brewery’s snow-storage room, called the Yukimuro. The flavor is initially subdued, before it unfolds the rich and solid sake that it is.
This sake is named after a poetry compilation from the 13th century by Ono no Komachi. Like the poetry, this sake is deep and rich with Melon, Plum, Anise aroma.
Soft on the palate, the balanced layers of sweetness and richness spread widely in the mouth as it follows through with a refreshing acidic tail. The cherry blossom shaped gold flakes infused in this sake imparts luxurious feel making this a top choice.
This sake is renowned for the dignified fragrance that is unique to ginjo sake; subtle, delicious flavor; and the way its pleasing taste lingers enjoyably in the mouth after drinking. We recommend drinking it at room temperature or warmed.
Using Sake Yeast Number 12, which was first isolated in the Akita Prefecture Jozo Shikenjo (Brewering Research Center), this sake displays a gentle banana-like aroma and has excellent balance, brightness and freshness.
This one is something uncommon in the sake world—a blend of multiple batches of different sake! They all use the same rice and water so there is some consistency, but it’s still quite complex.
Notes from the creator: With a refreshing acidity and gorgeous aroma, Hakkaisan Sparkling Nigori is certainly enjoyable as an aperitif, but this popular sake can be enjoyed many ways.
A delicious pear flavor graces your tongue and deepens the more you drink. The top grade "Yamada Nishiki" rice is creatively brewed to produce a complex sake you'd be proud to serve to any guest.
