Snow Aged Junmai Daiginjo 8 Years

八海山  雪室貯蔵  純米大吟醸  8年

Yamadanishiki, Gohyakumangoku, and Yukino Sei rice, milled down to 50%. A special 8-year-old Junmai Daiginjo with beautiful aromatics of cantaloupe melon, red apple, buttercream, and hints of spice on the nose. Rich, plush, and extremely elegant on the palate with a rounded creamy texture, complex with a good core of fruit layered with mineral and spice, a fine line of acidity for balance and good length on a drying finish. Serve chilled in a wine glass.

An area known for its heavy snowfall annually, the team at Hakkaisan developed a traditional Yuki Muro or snow cellar to age their sakes. The storage cellar can hold up to 1000 tons of snow and maintains a cool 4 Celsius year-round as the snow slowly melts until the next winter.

A special label with 8 of the Kanji “eight,” also read as in Katakana as, “ha” on the bottle, symbolizing, laughter (hahaha) & happiness.
