Delicious!
Pineapple sensation is strong.
Refreshingly citrusy, definitely dry.
This is the flagship Omachi sake brewed by Yamagata Masamune. This year's sake, which the brewery releases only in years when the quality is satisfactory, has arrived again, filled with the brewery's commitment and confidence!
This sake is carefully brewed from the highest quality Omachi sake rice, especially Omachi produced in Akaban. This year's sake has a strong acidity, pear and pineapple-like aroma and sweetness, and a mellow and powerful flavor, yet it feels drier than usual. It has a subtle astringency and a long finish. This wine can be drunk immediately or aged for a long time in the refrigerator.
It is the symbol of the brewery and is the signature brand name that represents the "sharpness of a great sword" in the quality of sake. By using hard water with a hardness of 120 as the brewing water, it has long been highly regarded as a sake that matures well.
This bottle is truly a business card as a food sake. The rice is polished to 60% Dewa Sanzu, and the full rice flavor is accompanied by elegant fruity nuances.

The umami is nicely integrated and finishes with a crisp aftertaste.
Fruity and comfortable to drink, it pours on the palate with non-stress.

I couldn't take a proper picture of this event in the crowded area because of the people standing in line behind me.
◉Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Aizan
I drank this one because it caught my eye, but it was more acidic than I expected and had a sour astringent aftertaste, not quite the Aizan I imagined.
I would have liked to drink Isshaku Suisei, too...
Maybe it's because it was stored in ice for a long time in the store ⁈The apricot aroma in the sweet and mellow type is soft 😌 The taste is a little subdued, but the acidity and fruity bitterness on the back palate makes it taste like Greffle 😚 I would love to taste a fresh one next time!
I said ❗️ because of the train, but he said you can have a few bottles of No.4 ❓ and he's ready to sell them 😂.
The 3rd and 4th pictures, I found a great hot spring on the 2nd floor of a pachinko parlor ♨️ that kept me warm until the night!
If you're a local, you'll want to go to this spring: 👍🏻
Hi Kotori 😃
I was wondering where you are 😳I went to a sake event in Saitama, but there is an interesting sake shop nearby 😁I'll try to visit next time ❗️
Hello, Hiro-san 🐥 I was on a business trip.
I was on a business trip... and decided to go for a gold crane, which is hard to find in Tochigi 🤭 It's a bit far from the station, I think. You might want to take a cab or rent a bike 😄The quality of the spring water in the Showa-era super public bath was also quite good. ♨️
Good evening, Kotori-san 🌇I thought you had gone to Saitama to play pachinko 🤣When you play pachinko and lose, you can forget about it by going to a hot spring...great 🤣.
Hi Manachie 🐥.
I didn't play pachinko because I have no sense of pachinko, but I wouldn't go all the way to Saitama to play pachinko 😂I was able to cross the 🚲 river to Kiyose to visit the sake store with the help of an assistant on my first shared bike!
Masamune Hunter 😍comes in!
I'll open a second bottle 🤣🍶✨✨

Great, what a strange feeling 😅🍶🍶.
Found a new species of Masamune.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it has a very yellowish tinge.
It has a wonderful aftertaste.
A one-of-a-kind sake.

Rating 4.4
Rice : Dewa Sanzu, Rice Polishing Ratio : 60%, Alcohol Content : 16
The taste is a bit mellow after a long sleep. The taste is full of rice flavor and elegant fruitiness. It has a freshness with strawberry and lychee flavors. The lingering aftertaste is sharp, as is typical of the famous "Yamagata Masamune". It can be served cold for a crisp taste, at room temperature for a mellow taste, or warmed up for a warmer taste.
It is said to be Yamagata Masamune's first low-alcohol sake, and while I was worried that it might lose some of the Yamagata Masamune character with its 13% alcohol content, I bought it with high hopes that the simple sticker label would look stylish and delicious on the contrary!
It is very smooth, light, fresh, and clear, so it is perfect for the intense heat...a refreshing summer breeze. If I had known, I would have drunk it earlier in the day, so I feel like I'm wasting my money.
On the third day, the Yamagata Masamune character comes out and the flavor is a bit more banana-like or a bit more robust. I like it this way because it has a good balance between drinkability and drinkability! Mmmm...very tasty! To be honest, I felt the taste was thin until the second day, but on the third day, the taste is clear, so I am relieved that my worries about what would happen if it was like this until the end were unfounded.
Overall, the taste is soft and gentle. There is not much stimulation in the mouth, but it is full of clarity and freshness, or a kind of freshness. I felt that this sake fulfilled my selfish desire to drink it lightly, but not to have no taste. ...I know I'm repeating myself, but I really wanted to drink it in the summer heat. !!!!! LOL!
