Junmai Daiginjo Hakkaisan.

Junmai Daiginjo Hakkaisan.

There are many versions of Hakkaisan Daiginjo, but this red label is the first one. 2300 yen or so, the top aroma is indeed a Daiginjo, with a freshness reminiscent of green apples. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the light aroma and wonder why it is so light. It has a mouthfeel as if you were drinking high-quality water, yet it is not too intoxicating, so it is recommended for beginners. The optimal temperature is 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. At worst, it feels like an imitation of Otter 39. This lightness is similar to that of 8 years in the snow cellar for aged sake.
