Timeline
yasYamagata Sanko" is a Junmai Daiginjo planned by the Yamagata Sake Brewers Association, with the goal of making the highest quality sake in Yamagata Prefecture = the highest quality sake in the world.
The rice used for this sake is "Yuki-Majin" rice, which was developed in Yamagata Prefecture for use in daiginjos, and which has won the Prefectural Governor's Award, the Chairman of the Steering Committee Award of the Yamagata Prefectural Headquarters of All Agriculture, and the Chairman of the Sake Rice Council Award at the annual Yamagata Prefecture Excellent Sake Rice Contest. The sake is then brewed by the brewery with the highest ranking in the sake competition judged by the Yamagata Sake Brewers Association. Yamagata Sanko is a Junmai Daiginjo made with the best Yamagata sake rice of the year by the brewery with the best production of the year. 
へべれけしぎんI don't know much about it, but it seems to be a bit of a special kind of alcohol, so below is a brief description by AI that I picked up on the internet...
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Yamagata Sanko (山形讃香) is a Junmai Daiginjo aimed at the highest quality sake in Yamagata Prefecture, planned by the Yamagata Sake Brewers Association.
It is brewed from "Yuki-no-Majin," a rice developed in Yamagata Prefecture for sake brewing, by breweries that have achieved top results in sake competitions judged by the Yamagata Sake Brewers Association for sake made with Yuki-no-Majin.
The breweries that brewed Yamagata Sanka (Yamagata-san) in 2024 are,
Kato Kahachiro Shuzo (Oyama),
Gassan Shuzo (Ginrei-Gassan),
Chiyozu Toraya Brewery (Chiyozu).
Yamagata Sanko is sold at major retailers in the prefecture and at major outlets outside the prefecture.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
The three breweries mentioned above all brew Yamagata Sanko with the same "35% Yuki Meishin" rice, but they all seem to have different yeast, alcohol content, and other specs.
I think the one I got was Yamagata Sanko from Gassan Shuzo 🤔.
These kinds of projects and collaborative products that transcend the boundaries of breweries are becoming more and more common.
It's exciting to see the rise and new swell of sake culture! RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
