Tasting Notes:
Truly one of my very favorite sakes. 2007 Urban Sake Golden Masu winner for "best in show" sake. The added alcohol in this sake gives a more floral character to the nose and a touch of added richness to the body while staying true to it's smooth and lighter Niigata roots. A fantastic argument for premium ginjo-shu style sake if there ever was one. Go out now and try this sake!! You'll love it!
Is this picture the Hakkaisan Ginjo? When I visited the brewery recently, I sampled this amazing sake and they referred to it as their Daiginjo. But since it’s so rare, the Hakkaisan Junmai Ginjo is my nihonshu of choice.
Hi Andy,
Yes, the pic on this page is for the Hakkaisan GINJO. It’s great stuff and one of my favorites.
