The bottle shape is completely Tatenogawa itself, as the host brewery is Tatenogawa Shuzo.
It is said that they use ancient rice "Sobei Sosai", which I have never heard of before.
It is delicious even when drunk as it is, but I had the impression that it was a high-class food sake.
Mitsuo Yamakawa 2024 Aki ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Manufacturer: Kojima So Honten (Toko Brewery)
Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 13%.
Slightly koji aroma, a little tongue-tingling on the palate, and a pleasant slightly sweet sake with a pleasant acidity 😋.
I have yet to meet only Yamakawa Mitsuo brewed by Otokoyama Shuzo out of the four breweries since I first encountered it at the 2018 Natsu by Mizutobe Shuzo. I'd love to meet him 😅.

I asked for Yama's 2024 or Autumn because it was available.
Sour and bitter.
I noticed it because it was written on the endorsement, but it has a koji taste!
13% alcohol by volume
Polishing ratio 50%.
This time, the sake is centered around Kojima-san
The project theme for 2024 is "Timeless Sake Brewing" and goes back and forth between various eras. Kojima Sohonten brewed this sake. It is a 13% original sake brewed with Yamagata Prefecture's Izuwasanzan. It was brewed with a high koji ratio, inspired by the fact that the koji ratio during the Horeki era (around 1761) was in the 30% range. It has a fresh, low-alcoholic but rich flavor. The label depicts Mitsuo Yamakawa in high spirits, making more koji than usual.
I bought it and opened the bottle immediately! LOL!
A mineral and gentle mouthfeel.
In the mouth, it slowly develops a juicy
melon-like flavor spread out,
There was also a sense of gas.
After that, the acidity came in quickly and the taste was sweet and sour.
It tasted like Yamagata Masamune's Summer Junmai.
The label is cute, and the back label is good because I don't know what it means.
It is a great food wine and went well with Italian appetizers.
