Tatenokawa Sake Brewery
Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture
10th anniversary🎊
This time, a bottle from Tatenokawa Sake Brewery 🍶.
Refreshing aroma ✨
Soft and acidic taste 😉.
Clear and fresh, with a sputtering aftertaste: 👍️
The label is cute every time 😆.
I was wondering what to buy when I realized I was on the verge of the 100th check-in, but I decided on this one, although it is 10 times short, because it is the 10th anniversary of Mitsuo Yamakawa 🍶.
I've always been curious about Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa, the label with a sense of melancholy is so cute 😊.
As for the taste, it started with a fruity ginjo aroma, and when I put it in my mouth, a fruity aroma like white peaches filled my mouth, then I felt a beautiful sweetness and acidity, and slowly as time went by, the deliciousness of the rice spread.
Anyway, it was a very satisfying sake with a beautiful yet strong alcohol taste, rich and full-bodied 😊.
I will still continue to explore my favorite sake (ง°`ro°)ง
Good evening, Chirsta 😄!
Congratulations on your 100 check-ins ㊗️🎉🎊I'm also interested in your Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa 😆 Cute label 💕.
I hope you continue to enjoy meeting your favorite sake 🥰.
Good evening, Chirsta!
Congratulations on your 100 check-ins 🎉!
I feel like it's fate that you fell into the swamp with Shinmasa and checked in 100 times on Shinmasa day 😁✨✨.
Have a great sake life from now on 😊😊.
Congratulations on your 100 check-in✅🎊🎉, Chirsta!
Uncle Yamakawa, I like it 😁.
I think it adds to the fun of sake katsu to develop your favorite sake. I look forward to more reviews of your sake activities 😄.
Good morning, Chirsta 😊.
Congratulations on your 100th check-in 🎉🎉㊗️
I also got another brand of Mitsuo Yamakawa the other day... Mitsuo is full of pathos and of course the sake is delicious. Keep up the drunken drinking 😁👍👍
Congratulations on your 100 check-ins🎊I haven't had Yamakawa yet, but from the reviews it sounds like something I would like 🤤.
Let's drink it from now on!
Hello, Uchi~'s super~ryu!
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I will continue to do my best while taking care of my body, so thank you very much for your decision.
Hi ma-ki-!
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
It's hard to drink at home without finding Shinsei, so I actually decided to at least celebrate 100CI on Shinsei day😅.
I will continue to follow the path of good sake while consulting with my liver 🍶.
Hi Hiro!
Thank you 🙇♂️
I've always been curious about it because of the cute label, and I finally found it: ☺️
I will continue to send out reviews of the sake I come across, even though I'm not very good with words 🍶.
Hello, Swisssu, I'm sorry to hear about this!
Thank you very much😊
You drank the Kijoshu that Yamagata Masamune was in charge of 😄I'm jealous because I was curious about that one too 😋.
Let's both keep up the good work with sake!
Hello, Manachie!
Thank you 🙇♂️
It was polished up to 50%, and while it tasted beautiful, it was a full-bodied, rich, and very drinkable bottle 🍶.
Let's drink as much as we can from now on👍
Hi Jay & Nobby!
Thank you very much😊
There are still a lot of alcohol that I have never had or am curious about, so I plan to keep exploring more and more of them (Translated by.
Hello, YSTJ!
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I'm 10x short, but Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa said it was his 10th anniversary, so I ran to the liquor store thinking this was the only way to get it 😂.
Good morning, Chester 🤗 and congratulations on your 100th check-in 🎉🎉.
And also, congratulations on your 100 check-in 🎉㊗️🎉. What a great choice! Nice choice - ☺️. I look forward to reading more reviews!
Hi Heppoko 😃.
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I was not sure about the sake to welcome you since it was a special number, but I just found Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa, so I decided to go with this one 😂.
Hi MasaakiSapporo 😃.
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
It was my first time to try Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa, and it was doshier and more drinkable than I expected 🍶.
I would like to try another seasonal one!
Congratulations on your 100 check-in✅, Chirsta🍾 ㊗️🎊🍾.
Mitsuo Yamakawa 10th anniversary, looks delicious 😄.
Makes me want to look for the next one too 😉.
Congratulations on your belated 100th check-in 🎉🎊!
Celebrating with a 10th anniversary drink, it's a good omen 😊👍✨Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa's tobogganing is exquisite 😆 I look forward to seeing more!
Pon, good evening 🌙.
Thank you 😊
How surreal and adorable this Uncle Mitsuo Yamakawa is, I wanted to collect him every season😂.
Yes, I will keep on doing my best to drink 🍶! I'll keep working hard on my drinking 🍶.
Well, well, well... Mitsuo Yamakawa's 10th anniversary!
10 years old, my daughter is also 10 years old!
The label Mitsuo Yamakawa doesn't look very old... 🤣.
Well, well, well, sweet sake, just called "kijoshu", there are many different kinds of kijoshu 🤔.
My image was of a sweeter, richer kijoshu, but this one overturned that image and was a refreshing, light kijoshu. ‼️
Rather, it is a great modern sake made by this brewery without sparing any of their best parts.
It was a great sake, and a great example of the best of this brewery's work.
I still have a bottle of the other Mitsuo Yamakawa in the fridge, so I'm looking forward to opening it 😊.
Good morning, Swisssu 😃.
It's true that Mitsuo doesn't look like a schoolboy 🎒😄but there is a theory that he doesn't age 🤔Maybe by the time your daughter can drink she will be a good adult and be called 'Mitsuo-sama' or something 🤣.
Hello, Swissisusan...
I can't help but think that Mitsuo looks like an uncle I know in the neighborhood 😅Image...
Prejudice is not good, so I would like to bring him to our house next time ❣️
I love your review😍✨
Hello, Muro-san 😊.
You look like my neighbor's uncle, he must be a very handsome man, just like you 🤣.
Mitsuo, please take me with you, I'm sure you'll love it!
👍
Mitsuo Yamakawa 2025 Nats.
Kappa-kun pours sake into Mitsuo's large sake cup. Mitsuo pours sake into Kappa-kun's large sake cup, and Kappa-kun pours some into Kappa-kun's head plate in return. When he gulped down the sake, the word "Celebration" was written at the bottom of the sake cup! It seems that the celebration of Mitsuo Yamakawa's 10th anniversary will continue.
[Thanks for retiring next week, manager of Tan].
I looked up this sake after I came back, but I didn't think it was a Kisosyu. So it will be the 2025 10th Anniversary Yamakawa Mitsuo. It is a collaboration sake from Yamagata Prefecture, and I wondered what it would taste like. I didn't expect it to be a Kisoushu sake. I think it could have been a little sweeter. It is definitely a great sake to drink with a side dish.
For some reason, we drink more heavily on weekdays than weekends 🤫. I don't mind drinking 💕
We got some kind of cute sake from ❤️, a unit of a sake brewery in Yamagata. I really enjoy this kind of movement. ‼️
I always imagine the taste while looking at the label, but this time it was totally unexpected 😆.
It has a slightly sweet aroma (not fizzy), but not too sweet, and soon a cider-like bitterness and a bit of spiciness comes in, with a pleasant lingering bitterness! There is not much alcohol smell or feeling of alcohol!
Today we had sashimi of yellowtail, salmon and squid, grilled homemade pancetta and leeks, salad, french fries and snacks like tako-wasabi 😆!
And! Surprised grilled leeks, but after biting into the leeks, Mitsuo, they are so sweet 💖 wonder ‼️ no acidity, so it went well with the sashimi, and I felt some strange pairing 😋 Food really does change the taste of alcohol 💕.
Impressions of the sake by itself are in charge of shinsaku3💕.
Good evening, Pekho😄I see you went for the Mitsuo 😍I was wondering too 😍I see that it is not sour so it goes well with sashimi 🐟I see 🧐Home made pancetta is awesome too 🍖I see that Mitsuo from grilled leeks is delicious, good find!
Good morning, Hepo 😃.
We're a complete no-alcoholic on weekdays for two weeks in a row with only weekend drinking 🥲Dreaming of a table full of splendid snacks 🤩We'll do our best this week too ‼️
I've input "Mitsuo likes green onions ❤️" 🤗
Hinahana Mama 💖Good morning ‼️ Mitsuo, it was surprisingly tasty 😉 Not sweet and a little spicy, but it was easy to drink like a dry cider 👍It goes with everything, but it's nice when you meet a surprise match!
Jay & Nobby 🫡💕Good morning ‼️ weekend-only is right for your health 😆 Mitsuo's dry cider-like drinkability goes well with the bitterness of vegetables 😍summer vegetable tempura and somen noodles 🤫I can only imagine - ❤️
Overall 6 (out of 10)
This is the first sake I received (thanks)
This is the first time I have received this sake.
According to the website
According to their website, "Mitsuo Yamakawa is an ambitious unit formed by four breweries in Yamagata Prefecture.
Despite the soft aroma of rice
Despite the soft rice aroma, I got the impression that it was mainly bitter and spicy.
The lingering spiciness lingers on the tongue.
For me, a lover of sweet and savory taste, it was a little bit in my weak point,
but I thought it would be a good taste for those who like it 😅.
It was served chilled 😃.

Good evening, shinsaku3!
Mitsuo, you were the talk of the town, weren't you? So I saw your post on Sake no Wa, but I thought it didn't seem to be my cup of tea 🤣 I was right, shinsaku3's review has convinced me 😅.
Good morning, shinsaku3 😃!
It's great that 4 well-known breweries form a unit and keep going for 10 years! Mitsuo Yamakawa-san has only had one outing 😅I'm sure there are many fans waiting for it every year 😌.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃.
I have a slightly different opinion of this sake than you 😅.
Maybe it changes again depending on the temperature you drink it at or something, but I didn't like the taste 😅.
Good morning, shinsaku3 🐥.
I only drank it at the end of my drinking ho, so it was very helpful 😆🙏.
I like the fact that it's called "Unit" and this label👍.
Good evening Jay & Nobby😃.
It sure is amazing that it's been going on for 10 years.
Maybe each brewery has its own characteristics.
Nagano's Unit 59 brewery also had its own characteristics.
I will try to drink different brands again 😃.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
Thank you 😊
For some reason, this label of Mitsuo's is soothing to stare at 🤣.
I'm a bit interested in other versions of such Mitsuo-san 😅.
Mitsuo on your 10th anniversary year.
Congratulations 🎉.
The brewer in charge this time is Mitobe Shuzo.
It is refreshingly sweet and has a sharp taste.
We will continue to support them.
