Sakura Masamune協会一号酵母 本醸造
アラジン
This is the origin of many "Masamune" type sake from all over Japan.
It is the origin of many "Masamune"-style sake from all over Japan.
In order to stabilize and improve the quality of sake, the Japan Brewers Association began collecting, cultivating, and distributing yeast from the best sake of the time in the early 1900's. The first such yeast was Sakura Masamune's Kyokai Yeast.
The first of these yeasts was collected from Sakura Masamune.
It is said that Sakura Masamune is the originator of "00 Masamune," which is common in Japanese sake.
This is proof that the sake was so good that "Masamune" became synonymous with "delicious sake" at the time.
My tasting notes
⚪︎ Appearance and aroma: ⚪︎
The appearance is crystal clear and translucent.
The aroma is calm and gentle, yet crisp and refreshing.
Herbs such as chervil, a hint of koji, and a soft and elegant rice aroma.
⚪︎Taste, etc. ⚪︎
Salty texture.
The clear, subtle sweetness of rice is accompanied by a crisp, edgy acidity.
As the acidity passes through to the nose, it quickly clears up while giving the taste of rice with a hint of koji.
The finish is sharp, with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
It is not flashy, but its calm and quiet appearance reminds us of its history.

Good morning, Aladdin!
I didn't know that the original "Masamune" sake still remains 😲.
I think that many "Masamune" were born from "Sakura Masamune" and I can feel the prosperity of sake brewing in those days 🥰.

Good morning, Aladdin!
So the original Masamune is Sakura Masamune 😲.
Even if I'm not a hunter, I'm intrigued 🎵
I would love to have it with a nice meal during a relaxing time 😋.

Good morning, Aladdin 😃.
Sakura Masamune's No.1 yeast ❗️ is the very origin ❗️ a bottle of history ❗️ nice Masamune👍
By the way, you have all the goods. If so, do you have the signboard on display in your house too? 🤩

Hi Aladdin 🐦.
I can only say that it's awesome that both Masamune and No.1 yeast started and are still active ✨Love the labels👍.
I see you have a single bottle 😳 the first one looks like a diorama 😁.

Hi Gyve 😃
There are many theories about the origin of Masamune (like because it sounds like Seishu when you read Masamune phonetically), so just for your reference 😁.
I guess Nada's "Masamune" was synonymous with famous sake in the days when anything other than Nada sake was "crappy sake" ☺️🍶

Hi ma-ki 😃
There are a number of theories about the origin of Masamune, but the fact that yeast #1 was collected and distributed throughout the country is well documented!
It was also dedicated to hunters👍.
It was indeed a perfect food sake 👍☺️

Good evening Hiro 😃.
Nice Masamune👍Thank you 😊
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to be complimented by a Masamune hunter 😁.
I would love to have a "Masamune" sign in my house, but alas, it's in the brewery's collection 😆.

Good evening, Pon 😃.
The #1 yeast was a phantom for a while, but it's making a great comeback 🤔.
I appreciate the 1-gou bottles when the cellar is full!
The miniature P-box and the size of the 1-gou bottle subtly matched 😁.

I can still enjoy cherry blossom viewing, so I'm going to have a nighttime cherry blossom viewing by myself tonight. p
Speaking of Hanami, Sakura Masamune.
The sake!
It's soft, slightly fragrant, and delicious.

Sake from Nada after a long time
Not too spicy.
But it has strength.
It is not overpowered by fried food.
Gulp!

まぁー
Hanami sake with Sakura Masamune while loving the cherry blossoms I got bought this year at home: ☺️
It is mentioned that it was founded in 1625 and is the originator of Seishu Masamune.
It is also easy to drink and delicious.
Japanese>English
ギョーザ
From noon, we went to a nearby park for hanami-sake (cherry blossom viewing).
Since it's hanami, of course the sake will be Sakura Masamune.
What the heck, you guys aren't doing much actual hanami...
Fellow sake drinkers!
Let's enjoy the Japanese spring!

For the 1,000 check-in✅ I chose this drink👍
Masamune hunters go today🍶.
I stumbled upon Udagawa Shoten's private brand 😳 during my Masamune research activities.
It's inspired by the best-selling sake in Edo 🙄... 🙄.
The label says "Masamune" in large letters and only "Masamune" on the back label. You can feel the dignity of the original 🤗.
The store seems to be run by a couple, and the customer service was excellent and the shopping experience enjoyable 😄.
They recommend heating Masamune to lukewarm 🤔.
It is true that in the Edo period, sake was either room temperature or heated, so I guess lukewarm is better 🤔.
But in the 2025 era, it was cold sake to 🧊.
There is still alcohol smell in the aroma.
The sweetness that wafts through the air and the tight alcohol taste. It is a taste that goes from sweet and delicious 😝.
Next, it is lukewarm 🔥.
The alcohol smell has disappeared and the sweetness has become mild. I feel a slight tingling on my tongue 🤔.
It goes down the throat and it's a nice old sake 🍶 As expected from the original: ❗️
This might be good to have a Hira cup like a historical drama 🤗.
The fourth one is a face towel I made to commemorate the event 😆.
I never thought I would follow Masamune when I started Sake no Wa, but now I can't quit 😇
Nice Masamune👍

I finally sipped it.
Because it has a sweet and sour taste with a richness to it,
It gives the impression of being quite firm on the palate.
The color is gorgeous and pretty.
It is sweet with a strong taste, so it may be a little bit like it or not.
The aroma is also sweet, but with a strong sake flavor.
The alcohol taste is also a little strong.
It is about 11% alcohol.
