On a special day once a year
At Hakkaisan Sennen Kojiya in Nihonbashi
Not only beautiful, as is often the case with daiginjos
It has depth but does not cling to the palate.
The sharpness is outstanding.
Recently, I have come to prefer this type of sake.
Aka-shu: Daiginjo-nama-shu
Ao-shu: Honjozo nama-zake, according to the store owner!
Coexistence of sharpness and depth
How can you not fall in love with Daiginjo?
I'll be back to drink it again in a year 🍶!

The aroma is full of rice, but the taste is light and refreshing, and the crispness is a typical Niigata light-bodied dry taste. It is a versatile type that does not interfere with meals. It can be served cold, at room temperature, or hot.
Pairing
Sashimi (especially white meat), dashimaki, grilled fish, tempura, soba noodles
Repeat Score] 2.0
Polishing ratio of 40.5%. Hakkaisan was probably the first sake I ever drank, so I wanted to try it again. It is still delicious! The rich sweetness of the rice gently spreads in the mouth.
Lunchtime drink ♪
Slightly glossy hue ✨️
The aroma is slightly sweet and fresh 😌.
Smooth and moist on the palate 😌... rich and full-bodied 😆.
Good dry Shiboritate with a freshness and drinkability only possible with freshly brewed raw sake 😆.
As usual, it has a dry sharpness with a strong sense of sweetness and umami of rice. Hakkaisan is the best sake that has just the right amount of umami and goes well with meals.
The Dodger blue bottle. It looks cool.
Average 60. 70 for appearance clarity, 50 for aroma complexity, 60 for flavor balance, 55 for structure/body, and 70 for lingering/finish.
A clean sake sparkler, this is a great choice for fans of both sparkling wine and sake. The white water of Niigata combined with the white yeast was another twist that reminded me of a snowy god. I don't trust sake from airport duty-free shops, so I think it's worth picking up something with a clear purpose.
The fourth drink at my favorite yakitori restaurant was Hakkaisan by Hakkai Jozo!
This time it was Shiboritate Harazake Echigo-de-Hou Blue Label!
Is this the first Hakkaisan since I started working at Sake-no-Wa?
Well, let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. Not much of an aroma.
It starts with the umami when you put it in your mouth.
I have an image of Hakkaisan as being light, but this is rich and delicious!
The complex flavor in the middle part of the bottle is balanced by a lingering bitterness that spreads out slowly, making it a delicious sake that goes well with meals.
Well, I was healed by the delicious chicken dishes and sake again tonight!
The third one is my favorite baumkuchen from Club Harrier!
I've been trying to cut back on sweets lately, but tonight was the only night my wife gave me this baumkuchen!
I heated it up and ate it, but it was still great!
By the way, I ate up this whole baumkuchen!
Thanks to my wife, I had a great day!
Ma-ki-, good evening here too 😊.
Looks like you had a really nice day, I can feel your wife's kindness ✨
Come to think of it, I haven't drank any Hakkaisan since I started drinking sake 😅.
Happy birthday, ma-ki-🎉!
I'm glad you and your wife had a fun and delicious day 🥰.
I've been interested in the Hakkaisan 19° draft sake, but haven't tried it, it is very rich 😋.
Thank you Kano!
My wife made my day really good🍀.
Yes, I remember drinking it a lot at sushi restaurants in the past, but it was a very rich and delicious sake, totally different from what I remember 😋.
Thank you so much, Takashi!
My wife made the day really enjoyable and delicious🍀.
I see you know this one: ⤴️
Oh, it was 19 degrees 😲.
I was under the impression that it was very rich 😋.
Thank you, Manachy!
Oh are you interested in warming balms 😁✨✨?
I've been warming them in the microwave since I found out that you can get them freshly baked when you go to a store where you can eat and drink 🎵They're delicious 😋.
Happy birthday, ma-ki👏!
It's a beautiful lunch & dinner time with your wife and I'm so happy for you too ☺️
I love Club Harrier too, but one hole is the best👍.
Thank you very much, Fijiko!
I'm so glad you were able to be so happy with my poor post 🍀.
Club Harrier is delicious - it's my favorite sweet 😍.
It's been a while since I've had one hole in the wall and I was maxed out 😋.
Thank you, HINANOHA!
I'm sorry to be so nice, but I can only thank my wife for making my days so enjoyable🍀.
If you heat the baumkuchen too much, it becomes hard, but it is delicious, so please give it a try 😋.
Thank you, soumacho!
Your wife likes Club Harrier too ⤴️
I think you and your wife might be kindred spirits 😁✨✨.
I'm not sure what to say, but this is still my favorite sweet treat and I was blissful yesterday😍!
Happy birthday to you, ma-ki-. ㊗️🎉
You and your husband had a wonderful birthday ☺️ I'd like to try drinking Hakkaisan again 🍶.
I love Club Harrier's baumkuchen.
I love Club Harrier's baumkuchen too😍.

Hachikaisan was rich but dark delicious sake after a long time 😋If you have a chance, please come again after a long time🤗.
Club Harrier is delicious 😋.
Thank you, Koizo!
As you said, thanks to my wife, we had a fulfilling and enjoyable day 🎵.
It was at this yakitori restaurant that I got hooked on sake, so the food is good, the sake is good, and the people are great! It's an oasis for me 😍.
