This Summer Net
Hakkai Brewery's summer sake is now ready. It is the season of "Summer Jun" again this year. Delivered right from our directly-managed stores. We hear that this year's rice was hard and hardy, making sake brewing difficult. The Niigata Prefecture's sake brewing saying goes, "It is only in years when the rice is bad that good sake can be made. This is a required question in the Niigata Sake Proficiency Test.
The taste is different from previous years, with a strong sense of acidity. The rest of the wine is dry and light, but the intoxication is different.
