Hakkaisan Sake Brewery Global

Through the lens of the Dodgers’ legendary photographer, Jon SooHoo, every moment carries a story. After more than four decades behind the lens, he steps into our Sake 101 series - an introduction to Hakkaisan sake, the official sake of the Dodgers. Hakkaisan is a premium sake from Niigata, Japan. Our Junmai Daiginjo is a premium sake with a crisp, clean, and dry taste. Kanpai !🍶

Sake production starts with rice milling. Once the rice arrives at the brewery, it is polished to remove the outer layers of each grain, exposing the starchy core. The percentage to which the rice is milled is called seimaibuai and refers to the amount of rice remaining after polishing.

Happy Spring from Japan! Spring is such a magical time at the base of Mount Hakkai in Niigata, where Hakkaisan Brewery is based. This is one of the snowiest regions in Japan, and each spring, snow becomes water, and water becomes our premium sake. Each bottle is crafted from pure mountain melt, naturally filtered through the earth itself.

What does spring taste like? A MICHELIN Guide–recommended experience. Chef Hamatsu and Chef Yuna present the spring omakase appetizer. Firefly squid. Sakura shrimp and mitsuba fritter. Yomogi tofu. Tai somen. A taste of spring. Layers of aroma. Spring, all the way to the finish. 🌸 Japanese flavors call for Japanese sake. Make it premium. Hakkaisan Yukimuro Aged 3 Years. Snow aged. Three years. Not just sake. This is premium. 🍶✨ #goodfood #tasting #goodfoodgoodmood #lovejapanesefood #omakase

Comment ‘SAKE’ to learn more! Sake brewery mini series ep.04 → The Art of Balance Hakkaisan Sake Brewery (Niigata) – Established 1922 Hakkaisan (八海山)’s precision goes beyond what you taste. They operate their own rice polishing facility, slowly polishing rice for up to 72 hours to preserve quality. Their water, “Raiden-sama no Shimizu (雷電様の清水),” is an extremely soft source most breweries avoid, but they’ve mastered it, even adjusting minerals during fermentation. Every step is intentional: small batches, hand-made koji (麹), and precise water control. This unseen discipline is what makes their sake so refined. 👉 Want to meet these breweries and taste their sake in person?

We hosted an Amazake tasting at Food Cellar Market on the other day, and it turned out to be an incredible day! Many visitors had never tried amazake before, but so many people were curious enough to take a sip—and we were thrilled to see the sales exceed our expectations. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and discovered the natural sweetness and tradition of amazake with us! #amazake #sakeculture #japanesetradition #fermented #koji

あさりの白味噌クラムチャウダー🍲 シアトルの定番食材マニラクラム！Japanese-Style Manila Clam Chowder 🦪🍶 White miso & dashi, made to pair with sake Manila clams are loved for their clean umami and gentle sweetness. By adding a touch of white miso and Japanese dashi to creamy chowder, this soup naturally connects American comfort food with Japanese sake. ⸻ Ingredients (serves 2–3) 🦪 Manila clams – about 500 g 🧅 Onion – 1/4, finely chopped 🥓 Bacon – 1–2 slices (optional) 🧈 Unsalted butter – 10 g 🌾 Flour – 2 tsp 🍶 Dashi – 200 ml 🥛 Milk – 200 ml 🍚 White miso – 1–1.5 tbsp 🌿 Black pepper – to taste 🌱 Scallions or mitsuba – to finish ⸻ Prep 1️⃣ Purge and clean the clams. 2️⃣ Steam with a little water until shells open. 3️⃣ Remove the meat and strain the clam broth — this is pure umami ✨ ⸻ How to make 1️⃣ Sauté onion and bacon in butter over medium-low heat. 2️⃣ Add flour and cook until smooth. 3️⃣ Pour in dashi and clam broth, stirring gently. 4️⃣ Add milk and warm slowly (do not boil). 5️⃣ Turn off heat and dissolve white miso. 6️⃣ Return clams and warm gently. 7️⃣ Finish with black pepper and herbs. ⸻ Chef’s tip 👨‍🍳 White miso should be subtle — not “miso flavored,” but a quiet bridge between dairy, clams, and rice-based umami. ⸻ Sake pairing 🍶 This chowder pairs beautifully with junmai or kimoto-style sake. Serve at room temperature or gently warmed for the best harmony. Soup × sake — simple, comforting, and surprisingly natural ✨ #日本酒 #ClamChowder #八海山 #hakkaisan #シェフのおうちレシピ @sake.world.japan @hakkaisan_1922 @hakkaisansake @soysource1992

Another sake pairing dinner collaboration with a brewery I hold so close to my heart. ♥️ 🍶🍣 For me, Hakkaisan is all about precision, balance, and quiet elegance — a philosophy that mirrors the newly awarded one-Michelin-star ⭐️ (the first and only) 311 Omakase so beautifully. From the very first time I met founder Carrie and Chef Wei, I was deeply moved by the stories, the intention, and the care behind everything they do. Carrie’s philosophy, paired with Chef Wei’s thoughtful, meticulously crafted cuisine, made it clear how much heart and work this duo has poured into their dream. I always knew their dedication would be recognized. Every successful business is built on hard work, but these two go far beyond that. Tonight was truly one for the books. Thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful evening, and for trusting me to share my passion for sake with your guests. Thank you, Chef Wei and Carrie — for the trust, the collaboration, and a truly special night together. 🍶✨. #sakepairing #omakase #michelinboston
