Daiginjō Hakkaisan (大吟醸 八海山) is made of Yamadanishiki rice (kōjimai) and Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, and others (kakemai) milled to 45%. The kōji is made by hand. The brewery uses spring water from Raiden-sama no Shimizu (雷電様の清水), derived from the melting snow of Mount Hakkaisan. A delicate, mellow, clean taste with a subtle, elegant sweetness complements the food, making it premium food sake.
