Founded in 1922, Hakkaisan Brewery is situated at the foot of Mount Hakkai in Niigata. The spring water that flows from the mountain is used to produce its sake. This sake embodies the spirit of the clean, cold air during the winter season in that region with a clean, dry flavour, buttressed by wispy floral aroma and crisp mouthfeel.

Best enjoyed chilled, either alone or with lightly grilled fish and fresh seafood. The aroma is slightly fruity and nutty, but with savoury mineral notes that translate to a very clean palate.
