Not-for-sale Hakkaisan.
This special sake is said to be distributed only to Hakkai Brewery employees at the end of the year. The logo on the label is also special. It is a Junmai sake, which is a sake that is not Junmai sake, and basically, there are very few Junmai sake that are entered in competitions. The taste is a wonderful sake that combines the lightness of the 35% rice polishing ratio, the robustness of Hakkaizakaya's sake, and the spiciness of the sake. According to those who often drink Hachikaishuzo sake, it has a unique flavor that is different from that of Kongoshin and Akaketsugo.
I couldn't buy alcohol even if I had to pay for it, and I drank it in 30 minutes (lol).
