Hakoneyama

Trademarked during the Meiji era as part of an early effort to export Japanese sake to Europe—a rare ambition at the time—it has long served as an ambassador conveying the grandeur of Hakone to the world. Its defining characteristics are the deep body and brilliant crispness brought forth by the pure hard water of the Sakawa River. Through traditional handcrafted methods, the brewery maximizes the inherent power of the rice, creating a dignified sake with an elegant aroma and a robust structure. With a history of numerous awards at domestic and international competitions, Hakoneyama continues to be cherished by sake enthusiasts worldwide as a superlative companion to Hakone's culinary excellence.
