Hakkaisan “Yukimuro” 3 Years Snow Aged
Niigata prefecture
$79.00
Fresh as snow
This sake’s minimalist white bottle represents the unique snow-chilling method used in its brewing. This “Yukimuro” is aged for three years in an insulated room next to huge mounds of frigid, mountain snow. This traditional, environmentally friendly technique adds a smoother, rounder feeling to the already creamy flavor, which is sweetened by hints of pear. Feel the snowy freshness of the slopes anytime with a few sips of “Yukimuro.”

Hakkaisan Brewery Company

The snowmelt water is naturally filtered by the mountain, providing water for the rice fields and for the elegant sake they produce. Their signature Niigata style is known as “tanrei ...
Customer reviews
Absolutely exceptional. The Hakkaisan “Yukimuro” is incredibly smooth with a beautifully balanced flavor—subtle umami, gentle sweetness, and a clean, elegant finish. You can really taste the craftsmanship that comes from aging it in a snow-cooled cellar for three years. A must-try for sake lovers!
Exceptionally smooth, like velvet.
Amazing sake. Like drinking refreshing spring water.
Tried this at a sushi restaurant and immediately had to order it - fresh, smooth, light. Perfect pairing with sushi.
My very favorite! I love the taste and smooth feel of this sake!
The pairing with hanger steak was magical. Will order again!
Super light and honestly taste like cream and fruit. Almost like you can taste the snow ❄️. Has become my new favorite to give as gifts especially to people who are normally not sake drinkers
Aromas of sweet white fruit. Floral as it warms. Flavour is semi sweet, bright, and clean. Medium bodied with a long creamy finish. While delicious I believe this to be way overpriced. I love Hakkaisan but there are better more complex and interesting sake out there.
