Eight years worth of happiness

The kanji character eight (八) has many auspicious meanings, and is the first character for Hakkaisan (八海山). It’s also the katakana “ha,” so putting it on the label eight times is like laughing “ha ha ha…” for happiness. All intended puns aside, this is an incredibly supple treat with a rich mellowness and a hint of cantaloupe on the nose. Enjoy this 8-year-old sake for a special occasion.

Hakkaisan Brewery Company

Hakkaisan Brewery Company was founded in 1922 in the foothills of Mount Hakkai, in an area with snow accumulating over 10 feet at times. The snowmelt water is naturally filtered by the mountain, providing water for the rice fields and for the elegant sake they produce. Their signature Niigata style is known as “tanrei karakuchi,” which is crisp, clean and dry, achieved by slow, low-temperature fermentation. They only use handmade “koji” and produce in small batches, and their guiding principle is to produce sake of the highest quality that pairs well with food.
