Masamune hunters go today🍶.
A while ago, I was on my way back from Daishinshu's brewery opening. I stopped by "Sake no Dears" in Minami-Kofu. I had heard that Koyosasa Masamune was available here 😁.
I entered the store and looked for it 😳.
A bottle 😅
Well, I knew that they only had 1 Sho bottle, but I thought for sure they would have Yongo too 🤗.......nope!
Reality is ruthless 😅
Finally, I stepped into the professional world of Ippon Bottles 😆.
So we opened the bottle 🍶.
When you pour it into the glass, you are greeted with the smell of alcohol 😅.
The mild mouthfeel and sharpness that is typical of alcohol-added sake is still there.
And the sweet smell of grain lingering in the nose 👃.
Mmmm, this is the good old sake itself.
Sadly, this is the sake that is served as "sake" in all-you-can-drink izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) 🍶.
Still, there is a history of these kinds of sake that supported the Showa era, which is why we have the delicious sake of today. And I sincerely think that Koyo Sasamasa Masamune may be gone in 10 years 😌.
Nice Masamune👍

Good evening, Hiro-san.
I think it's a wonderful idea. I would like to learn from it as well.
But I can't remember selling them for 49 years... I wonder if they are still in business 😓.

Hi Hiro-san 😀
You are a quintessential Masamune hunter...you have finally entered the forbidden world of buying challenge sake in a bottle 🤣.
I hesitate to buy a bottle of sake even if I know it's good 😅.

Hello, freelancer first generation man 😃.
As part of my research on Masamune, I learned about the many breweries that have gone out of business. This brand also went out of business and was taken over by Taikan. I felt the weight of the fact that the brand is still in existence 🙂↕️ Masamune has taught me a lot 🙏.

Hi Yasbay 😃.
I bought it because there was only one bottle available, but it's finally here 😓, it's just so forbidden. I use it for cooking sake and it doesn't reduce at all 🤣.

Hi ma-ki-😃
I went ahead and finally bought it, relying only on my hunter's beliefs.
I am facing a new challenge ❓ what to do with the remaining bottles (with contents) 🤣.

Hi Hiro 😃.
A bottle of "You can't find it on the internet" 😆 I felt your way of life as a hunter when you got a bottle after knowing everything 😌.
It's a bottle with a Showa era feel! Let's savor it over one square 😋.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
You are right ❗️ this is the way of life of a Masamune Hunter 😤.
I picked up a bottle along with the tradition of the sake brewing industry 🤲.
I'll taste the Showa Ippon (the Mimuro cedar next to it) with all my heart 💪.
