Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjyo Light Nigori Nama-Shu Yokoyama Yokoshi
Rice: 100% Dewa Sanzu, Polishing ratio: 50%, Alcohol content: 15%.
The first sake of the season, light nigori. It has a refreshing flavor with a slightly bitter taste, similar to that of grapefruit or muscat peel, which is characteristic of Yamagata Masamune. It has a strong flavor unique to nigori, a strong flavor unique to nama-shu, and a freshness unique to nama-shu! More refreshing and less nigori than tate-oshi.

Rice: 100% Aiyama from Hyogo Prefecture, Polishing ratio: 50%, Alcohol content: 16%.
The elegant sweetness that is typical of Aiyama develops. It is well balanced with acidity typical of Yamagata Masamune. A good mid-meal sake.
It's raining outside ☂️. It was a little chilly 😨 Here's what I chose for such a day: 💁♂️
Let's start with the standing scent. A fresh sweet aroma.
In the mouth, there is a crisp sweetness reminiscent of acacia honey and a good acidity. The aftertaste is full yet refreshing.
With oden (Japanese radish). The freshness of the daikon radish combined with the flavor of the soup stock enhances the sweet and umami taste of this sake, and the moderate bitterness improves the palate and keeps the cup going 😁.

It's been a long time since I've had Yamagata Masamune.
Cold sake.
Slight banana aroma, some rice cake-like aroma.
Slightly hard on the palate.
Gentle umami and a hint of acidity.
Slightly sharp taste.
Lightly cloudy, with a slight impact on the initial flavor. But after that, it quickly becomes sharp. It looks heavy but it is not.
I'm going on a business trip again this week, but drinking here is my favorite thing to do before the trip...lol!
Delicious!
Pineapple sensation is strong.
Refreshingly citrusy, definitely dry.
This is the flagship Omachi sake brewed by Yamagata Masamune. This year's sake, which the brewery releases only in years when the quality is satisfactory, has arrived again, filled with the brewery's commitment and confidence!
This sake is carefully brewed from the highest quality Omachi sake rice, especially Omachi produced in Akaban. This year's sake has a strong acidity, pear and pineapple-like aroma and sweetness, and a mellow and powerful flavor, yet it feels drier than usual. It has a subtle astringency and a long finish. This wine can be drunk immediately or aged for a long time in the refrigerator.
It is the symbol of the brewery and is the signature brand name that represents the "sharpness of a great sword" in the quality of sake. By using hard water with a hardness of 120 as the brewing water, it has long been highly regarded as a sake that matures well.
This bottle is truly a business card as a food sake. The rice is polished to 60% Dewa Sanzu, and the full rice flavor is accompanied by elegant fruity nuances.
