NIIGATA, Japan -- Japanese sake maker Hakkaisan Brewery has entered into a two-year partnership with Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers that will make it the team's official sake, the company said Thursday.

The sake will be sold at Dodger Stadium in an original cup available only there. Digital advertisements for the drink will be displayed on monitors at the stadium, and sake experience events are planned.
