There is no description, but it has a light nigori taste. It has a slightly richer flavor than the Dewa Sanzan that I drank recently. The rice seems to be well melted. As expected from Omachi, there is nothing to say 🤣.

June 3, 2023 At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan. I took a new employee to my favorite restaurant to drink sake. The fifth sake was Yamagata Masamune Junmai Gin The fifth cup was Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginzoku Gekidaku. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, and It is a limited-edition shipment of a well-balanced blend of Yamada-Nishiki, Omachi, and Dewa-Tsanbai junmai ginjo. It is a blend of Yamada Nishiki, Omachi, and Dewa Tsannin Junmai Ginjo in good balance. It is very thick, but has a nice sharpness. It is a dry sake that is thick, but has a nice sharpness and is very refreshing to drink. It is a dry sake that can be drunk very refreshingly. Fried raw wood ear, fried raw wood ear, and assorted tempura (so good that we ordered it again). and assorted tempura (which was very good, so I ordered it again). The sake was very good.

Slightly effervescent, with a slight fruity taste and a nice aftertaste, it is the perfect summer drink! Very easy to drink, too much? It is a very easy-drinking sake.

Lunch was a Yamagata specialty, cold soba noodles with meat. At night, we drank Yamagata Masamune. It was a refreshing drink.

It is said to be Yamagata Masamune's first low-alcohol brew. The texture is silky and smooth. Grape-like flavor with a soft aroma of rice. Gentle sweetness. Sourness with a refreshing feeling. Slightly foamy and tingling. Slight bitterness. Like a breeze passing through the shade of a sunny summer tree. Pure, refreshing, light and pleasant to drink. Delicious! 4/5 stars for my favorite.

Yamagata Masamune Experimental Sake 2025 Natsukaze 13% alcohol by volume, rice is Dewa Sanbai Not much of the standing aroma can be smelled. When you drink it, it has a slightly thick texture with a lot of gas. It has sweetness, but it is moderate compared to the image of low strength. The umami is also light. It is a bit like pear when it comes to fruit. In a word, it is a little sweet, light and refreshing. It fills the mouth with a fresh sweetness and bitterness with a sense of gas, and then disappears as if it were a lie. I felt that dry snacks would be a better pairing than those with a lot of water. I wish I had some bone crackers, fins, or salami on hand.

Japanese sake Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice koji (domestic) Rice used: 100% domestic rice Rice polishing ratio: 55 Alcohol content: 15% alcohol by volume The season of Ero Masamune has come again this year. On a very hot day, this sake, which has no sweetness and is refreshing, is perfect. I was able to drink it in large gulps. I am happy to have 3 consecutive holidays, but I can't help my tendency to work on my days off because I think, "I have to work 1.25 times harder next week because I have one less day to work💦.

This sake is made by a highly ambitious sake brewery that grows its own sake rice using terraced rice paddies that have been abandoned due to aging in Yamagata Prefecture. The slight carbonation felt on the tip of the tongue and the light, dry taste make it perfect for summer. It is best served chilled!

Home drinking. Today is my day off from work. This time, I chose a summery bottle of Yamagata Masamune Summer Junmai. The aroma is not strong, and when you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweet and spicy flavor, while it cuts through the palate cleanly. It adds flavor to yakitori and sashimi and removes the stench. It is a delicious food sake.
