Hakkaiyama, with its eye-catching Dodger blue color. Special Honjozo. Official partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers. So far, this is what we usually sell.
In addition, it has a sticker commemorating the 2025 National League Champions.
The World Series is currently 2-2, but when they become World Series Champions, they will likely release a sticker with that version on it, lol.
A clear, clean taste and an elegant sweetness that spreads softly.
This junmai daiginjo is brewed with handmade koji and Raiden-sama's fresh spring water from the melting snow of Hakkaisan. 45% polished Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku, combined with Miyamanishiki, creates a junmai sake with a clean and crisp taste that is typical of Hakkaisan and never gets boring. It is a slightly upscale food sake with a clear, clean taste and an elegant sweetness that gently spreads to complement the food.
It's autumn, but edamame arrives from Niigata👍.
I was going to take a day off from drinking, but I changed it and had a light drink 🍺🍶.
Hakkaisan special honjozo.
The last time I drank it was with a Dodger's Blue Bottle, and, well, there's no doubt about it, it is superbly balanced as a food sake.
It's not a particularly interesting flavor, but it's versatile, and the more I drink the sake, the more I realize what this brewery is capable of, and Hakkaiyama's strength is that this consistent quality of sake is available in supermarkets.
It will casually come together with fried shiitake mushrooms and tempura maitake mushrooms from Niigata, not to mention edamame.
It is clear and colorless, with aromas of pear, honeysuckle, and topknots. The attack is rather strong, with a moderate sweetness and a rather long finish.
