This is a great example of traditional Niigata style light, dry & crisp “Tanrei Karakuchi” sake. Nihonshudo +8 is a quite high in dryness as its name “Hachikara” simply means +8 dry. Being aged under the snow for 3 months, the flavour is smooth as snow water, light touch on your palate then finish with dry & crisp. From its style, you can easily see this sake is made from Niigata’s most popular Gohyakumangoku rice. If you like light & dry style sake, you MUST try this sake. It will be your instant favorite for sure. Good to be taken both chilled or warmed. Great food matching with white fish Sushi & Sashimi.
