Hakkaiyama Junmai Daiginjo Kowagura Brewery
Sake Brewer] Hakkai Jyozo Corporation (1051 Nagamori, Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture)
Junmai Daiginjo (small quantity production, limited to the Kowa warehouse)
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Kuchiyoshikawa, Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio] 45
Alcohol percentage] 17
Yeast] K-1001, M310
Sake cup】Wine glass
Aroma】+2.0（Melon、White peach、Muscat、Ueshin powder)
Appearance】Crystal
[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 2.0
Acidity: 2.0
Sweetness: 1.5
Umami: 2.0
Bitterness: 1.5
Lingering] Medium. Fruity aroma and slight bitterness.
Impression: A mellow and elegant Junmai Daiginjo.
Even for a Daiginjo, the aroma is not too showy, and the cleanness typical of Hakkaisan coexists with the richness derived from the sake rice. 17% alcohol, the overall impression is soft, and the aroma is very consistent. The mouthfeel is smooth, and the dry sharpness spreads pleasantly toward the latter half. It shows its true potential when served with dishes that have a little dashi broth in them.
Pairing
This wine pairs well with umami and salty dishes such as kombujime sea bream, grilled scallops with butter, grilled chicken with salt, and salty sukiyaki.
Repeat Score] 2.0

Appearance] Crystal
[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 1.5

Short to medium length. It is clean and crisp, with a subtle fruity aroma that lingers.
Impression: Light and dry daiginjo.
The aroma is gentle but elegant with a hint of melon. It is clean, light, and dry in the Hakkaisan style. It has a lightness and transparency due to the addition of alcohol, and is completely free of any cloying flavors. The sharpness is especially noticeable when drunk cold, and it enhances the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine.
Pairing
Delicate dishes such as white fish sashimi, tempura, yudofu, soba noodles, etc.
Repeat Score] 2.0

Hakkaisan Tokusen Daiginjo
Sake Brewer】Hachikai Jyozo Corporation (Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture)
Type of Sake] Daiginjo
Rice type] Yamadanishiki, Hyogo Prefecture, Special A district
Rice polishing ratio] 35
Alcohol content】15.5%.
Sake Cup】Wine Glass
Aroma: +1.5% (green apple, white peach, melon, banana)
Appearance] Crystal.
[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 1.5
Acidity: 1.5
Sweetness: 1.5
Umami: 1.5
Bitterness: 1.0
Lingering: Medium. Slightly fruity and ginjo aroma lingers and disappears gently. The alcohol is moderate and very elegant.
Impression] Classical light, dry, royal road daiginjo.
A fantastic daiginjo that is only served at eight stores in Minamiuonuma City. The clarity and elegant quality of the sake is different from the world view of the special bottles, which is what happens when Hakkaisan gets serious about it. The aroma is characterized by a melon-like ginjo aroma. The taste is light, smooth, well-balanced, light and dry. It is a beautiful type of sake that appeals more for its high degree of perfection than for its flamboyance. As the temperature rises, the roundness and umami opens up a bit, and the cooler it is, the sharper it becomes.
Pairing】Pair with sashimi of white meat fish, boiled hamo (pike conger), tempura, takiawase (takikiawase), etc.
It is especially good with refined Japanese dishes with dashi broth.
Repeat Score] 2.0

Congratulations to the Dodgers for winning the championship㊗️I was watching the game with a lot of concentration since this morning! I almost gave up on the game, but as they say, "If you give up, that's the end of the game!
Now, I saved this for the celebration! Blue bottle of Hakkaisan😄I bet many of you are probably drinking this today! Or maybe Yamamoto (lol). Hakkaisan has a partnership with the Dodgers, hence this bottle! I hope more and more people in the U.S. will be able to enjoy the goodness of Japanese sake.
The aroma is mild and banana-like. The flavor is mild and bananasweet, but the umami comes through and the taste is clean and refreshing. It is really delicious when heated up 😄It was perfect with the motsu nabe!
Congratulations to the winner ㊗️ and I am really impressed that a Japanese person can play such an active role in the world!

Dodger Blue Bottle
Tastes great lukewarm.
Dodgers won the championship for the second year in a row.
The WS MVP was Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
I wanted to cheer for the Dodgers while drinking this sake, but I've been working all day and come home on weekdays when everyone is in bed. It's like the Showa era!
It's tough, but we can manage...we're only human (lol).

On a trip to Yamanashi Niigata is famous for sake. Sake is the name of Niigata. In other words, this is the sake. I don't know. When everyone drinks it together, it's practically water in an instant.
