Yatagarasu (Kitaoka Honten)
The Yatagarasu is a three-legged divine bird appearing in Japanese mythology. This local sake bears the name of this bird, which is said to have guided Emperor Jimmu through the mountains of Yoshino. It is brewed by Kitaoka Honten in Yoshino. Founded around the beginning of the Edo period, they transitioned to specialized sake brewing in the first year of the Meiji era. During the Taisho era, they reportedly trademarked 'Yatagarasu' due to its good fortune and connection to the legends of Yoshino. The Yatagarasu is also known as the symbol of the Japan Football Association, representing a lucky presence that leads to victory. Brewed with the pure mountain waters of Yoshino, this sake is characterized by a rich, savory flavor (umakuchi) that remains timeless. Enjoying a cup while seeking good fortune is a truly refined experience. It is a fine sake that allows you to feel the history of Yoshino.
