Hakkaisan Tokubetsu Junmai Sake

A crystal‑clear Tokubetsu Junmai from Niigata’s renowned Hakkaisan Brewery. Each sip tastes like melting snow filtered through mountain rock. At 60% rice polishing it feels clean yet softly textured. Cool spring water from Mt. Hakkai nurtures its pure, mineral backbone. Subtle rice‑yeast and vanilla whispers emerge beside melon and wild flower aromas. The palate offers fine viscosity with rice sweetness balanced by a crisp, dry core. This sake marries elegance and approachability in every pour. Perfect chilled or gently warmed at 15.5% ABV.
