Hakkaisan Tokubetsu Junmai Debut
Posted by chiz on July 12, 2009
My sake friend lovely Kuro-chan of Hakkaisan Brewery of Niigata prefecture gave me new Hakkaisan sake “Hakkaisan Tokubetsu Junai” last week.
As you know, Hakkaisan is one of big and classic sake breweries. So many people have tasted and known this sake, even they have no idea about sake.
All Hakkaisan sakes are super clean, smooth, sharp, and dry like cold clean water of river of Niigata prefecture, even Honjozo type. This Tokubetsu Junmai is also very Hakkaisan taste, but little milder than other Hakkaisan. However, much clearer and sharper than typical Tokubetsu Junmai. Especially, this cleanness is great for summer. I can keep drink all night! (or all day long??)
Tonight’s ATE is light pickled red cabagge, simmered Washu beef with Shiitake mushroom, and my favorite pickled Rakkyo.
Arigatou Kuro-chan!
