Yamagata Masamune
With a single sip, the rich umami of the rice expands, immediately followed by a sharp finish reminiscent of a legendary blade. The hallmark of Yamagata Masamune is this perfect balance between richness and crispness. Produced by Mitobe Shuzo, founded in Tendo in 1898. Their philosophy is "sake brewing starting from rice cultivation." They use quite hard water with a hardness of 120 for brewing, which creates a transparent, pure, and clean mouthfeel. Their Junmai Ginjo, which uses a generous amount of Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture, is also popular. It is a versatile bottle that is delicious without being heavy, pairing well with various dishes. It can be enjoyed chilled, or enjoyed warm (nurukan) to let the umami expand beautifully. This is a local sake crafted with sincere dedication to rice in the land of Tendo.
