Hakkaisan, Nama Genshu Sake Echigo De Soro (Blue label), NV (720ml)
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the snowy mountains of Niigata, Hakkaisan Nama Genshu is a seasonal sake that captures the brewery’s signature elegance in its rawest form. Nama means unpasteurized, and Genshu means undiluted—so what you get here is sake in its most intense, vibrant state: higher in alcohol, full of texture, and buzzing with freshness.
Brewed from polished local rice and pure mountain spring water, it offers a lively mix of melon, banana, and fresh-cut herbs on the nose, with a palate that’s bold and slightly creamy, yet finishes dry and crisp. There’s a touch of sweetness up front, but it’s quickly reined in by clean acidity and minerality. Serve it chilled, and don’t be afraid to let it breathe like a white wine.
Ideal with sushi, grilled mackerel, or even spicy dishes, Hakkaisan Nama Genshu is a thrilling introduction to sake’s unfiltered, untamed side—with all the polish of a top-tier producer.
