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 in the Echigo Sanzan (越後三山) mountain range, the source 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 as the brand ambassador for Hakkaisan.

Haikkaisan's seasonal Junmai Daiginjo, released in November, offers a delightful departure from the brewery's more traditional offerings. It exhibits a fruity aroma with a moderate sweetness, a gentle approach, and a smooth texture. While maintaining a medium-bodied profile, the sake surprises with a refreshing mouthfeel, pronounced acidity, and a distinct ginjo character. This crispness sets it apart from Haikkaisan's standard Junmai Daiginjo.

Designed to complement the flavours of autumn and winter, this sake pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes. We found it to be the perfect companion to a comforting hotpot.
