Hakkaisan “Tokubetsu Junmai”
Niigata prefecture
Like fresh snow on mountain tops
Tokubetsu means “special” in Japanese, and Hakkaisan “Tokubetsu Junmai” is special indeed, with a bit of extra polish on the rice compared to a regular junmai. The slightly richer body comes with a mild and creamy texture, which melts across the palate like a snowflake caught on the tongue. With a clean, satisfying taste tailored to compliment many foods, this sake will easily become a house favorite.
