Product
SPRING WATER FROM RAIDEN
Hakkaisan aims to bring out the essence of good material with every possible effort. Hakkaisan uses “Spring water from Raiden” for all brands of Hakkaisan. The spring water is brought to the brewery from the foot of Mt. Hakkai. The brewery carefully selected the place and grower of Goyakumangoku and Yamadanishiki rice which are believed to be the most suitable rice for sake making. Based on traditional know how and every possible effort and using these strictly selected materials, Hakkaisan makes the best quality sake.
Origin
CRAFTED WITH PURPOSE, SHARED WITH ALL
Hakkaisan has devoted their heart and soul to deliver high quality sake with reasonable price to the marketplace. They believe that sake should be made to be enjoyed freely by people. Sake making process is always complex and each process requires technique that comes from experience. Hence, when traditional procedure is strictly followed, sake becomes very limited and costly. However, this does not mean that Hakkaisan produce sake by compromising the quality by skipping procedures. They achieve the challenge for quality and quantity by making sake with the best ability within the given condition and repeatedly make throughout the season.
