“Hakkaisan’s original Yukimuro sake is aged for three years, but by aging the sake for five additional years, the aroma, flavor, and texture become gentler and milder with an increased depth of umami. The umami and cereal grain characteristics may remind you of the many years this sake has matured carefully in Hakkaisan’s Yukimuro (snow storage room).”

About the brewery:

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. The guiding principles of the brewery are to produce the finest sake that people will never tire of, to apply the highest standards of production to all its sakes, and in order to achieve the smooth wonderfully pure and mellow flavors of Hakkaisan sake, the Brewery insists on producing in small batches, using hand-made koji and slow fermentation at low temperatures.
