Product details
Hakkaisan Tokubetsu Junmai is a refined sake crafted by Hakkaisan Brewery, nestled in Niigata Prefecture at the base of Mount Hakkai. Established in 1922, the brewery is renowned for its dedication to traditional methods, including small-batch production, hand-made koji, and slow fermentation at low temperatures. The pristine spring water from Mount Hakkai is integral to their brewing process, contributing to the sake's clean and mellow profile.
This Tokubetsu Junmai sake is brewed exclusively for international markets, using Gohyakumangoku and Koshiibuki rice polished to 60%. It offers a well-balanced, mellow, and elegant flavor, with tasting notes that include subtle hints of cream and vanilla. With an alcohol content of 15.5% and a sake meter value (SMV) of -1, it presents a slightly rich and dry taste profile. This versatile sake pairs well with a wide range of foods, from delicate Japanese cuisine to international dishes like cheese and pizza, making it an approachable choice for various palates.
