Commemorative Centennial Sake
“Hakkaisan Hyaku”

The Hakkaisan Brewery, founded in 1922 in Minamiuonuma City, is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Taking this opportunity to reflect on our past while directing our efforts anew toward the coming 100 years, we have created this sake which takes the name “Hyaku,” meaning “one hundred” in Japanese. A high-quality daiginjo-grade sake achieved through full utilization of our brewers’ refined skills and passion for their craft, it features an elegant roundness of flavor that invokes mental images of a finely polished sphere, subtle hints of the characteristic ginjo-type aromatic properties, and a deep-reaching and well-matured flavors achieved through six years of long-term aging at subzero temperatures.
The label design features the Japanese kanji character for “Hyaku” (百) in a non-cursive, powerful, and attractively clear-cut typeface to symbolize the meticulous, high-quality sake brewing which Hakkaisan Brewery continues to pursue now and into the future. As further examples of our careful attention to detail, each bottle of Hakkaisan Hyaku is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans and its label printed on hand-selected washi traditional paper, with bottles placed in individual paulownia-wood boxes.

Looking toward the coming generations, we are focused unwaveringly on the future ahead, ready to tirelessly take on new challenges one after the next.
