Hakkaisan Brewery was founded in Minami-Uonuma, Niigata, one of Japan's premier and most famous sake brewing regions, in 1922. The brewery derives its name from Mount Hakkai (八海山), a sacred mountain that is part of the Echigo Sanzan (越後三山) mountain range, the spring of the clear waters of the Haikkaisan river system. Hakkaisan represents the local sake tradition in Niigata and produces sake, shochu, plum brandy, beer (Rydeen Beer), whisky and mirin (cooking sake). In 2013, Timothy Sullivan, the founder of Urban Sake, was appointed brand ambassador of Hakkaisan.

Hakkaisan's Junmai Daiginjo (red label) is available from November to January. Conceived as a "food sake", it does not interfere with dishes of more subtle taste. It has a distinct nose of alcohol and spices and is, for a junmai daiginjo, quite dry. Gentle ginjo aroma and umami. Bitter and short finish. Given that it's also "cospara" (read, good cost performance), it's a reasonable choice for your dinner table.
