Our Take

Imagine a room filled with snow all year round, then some of the best, well produced sake is placed inside and aged for 8 years. That's essentially what Hakkaisan has done here where they have kept a special snow-filled room called a yukimuro at constant temperature in order to gently condition the sake in order to develop complex layers of flavor.

With this sake, we can get toasted rice notes, alongside a crisp, elegant and clean profile. Exceptionally well balanced. Offer this as a gift for your sake-loving friends or open up for a special occasion. You'll love this bottle.
