Sakaya Hachibei, a Junmai Ginjo sake by Gensaka Sake Brewing, embodies the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and tradition. Established in 1805 and nestled in Mie Prefecture, this heritage brewery prioritizes local ingredients, fostering a deep connection to their land. This sake offers a rich and dry profile, gracefully balanced by a mellow sweetness and a refreshing touch of acidity, leaving a harmonious, lingering finish. Its unique charm lies in a subtle bitterness that complements the rich umami notes, making it a versatile companion for various dishes, especially raw white fish.

Crafted from Isenishiki rice, an ancient variety akin to Yamadanishiki, Sakaya Hahibei retains its natural flavors through minimal polishing. Utilizing Yamahai fermentation driven by natural yeast, it draws out inherent umami. Patiently aged for at least four months before release, this sake promises a delightful evening of relaxation and culinary enhancement. Sakaya Hahibei encapsulates centuries of brewing expertise, inviting you to savor its multifaceted flavors, perfect for everyday enjoyment and special occasions alike.

In 200 years, Gensaka has not just upheld tradition but revived it with a sake that embodies their commitment to quality and heritage.
