Hokusetsu's "NOBU"

"Hokusetsu" (meaning "Northern Snow") is a famous Japanese Sake brand, known as Nobu's favorite Sake.  It is loved by celebrities and Sake lovers in the world. 

I first learned the name at the Sake Fair in Niigata when I was waiting in the long line for entry, the person standing next to me taught me that his most favorite brand is "Hokusetsu" and recommended me to taste "Hokusetsu".

He seems real Sake lover and I feel grateful for his valuable advice. It is wonderfully smooth and elegant. It is fresh and develops body in the middle.

Hokusetsu Sake brewery is located in the Sado Island, which is an isolated island off the coast of mainland Niigata. The island is known for harsh winters, which is a key factor for the quality Sake.
