Tokubetsu, which translates to “special” in Japanese, is an exceptional sake that truly lives up to its name. Its brewing process involves the use of naturally soft water sourced from the snow that melts off the peak of Mt. Hakkai. This results in a dry body that is accompanied by a mild and creamy texture. The flavor profile boasts notes of almond and vanilla with a subtle hint of lactic character, evoking a sensation reminiscent of a snowflake melting on the tongue. Its deep and satisfying taste makes it a versatile accompaniment to various foods, such as roasted meats and grilled fish.
