Here's another Christmas label~!
It's Santa Claus the elephant. It's adorable.
This is delicious!
A little bit shwashy.
It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness.
It's the perfect drink for Christmas!
Akaban Omachi 50% polished rice
A limited edition that is only released in years when the customer is satisfied with the quality. The palate is clean with a gentle sweetness. Yet it has a crisp aftertaste.
It is said that it is recommended to be aged for a long time, but I couldn't resist and opened it here. If I can get another bottle, I would like to age it.

Maybe because it's New Year's, there was a gorgeous gold dusted version 🏅 This is definitely a bourgeois Masamune 💰.
The master turned it upside down to diffuse the gold dust before pouring it 😁.
It's a stone 🙏.
So I will have the Bourgeois 😎😎.
The taste is dry but soaked with the sweetness of rice 🌾.
The sweetness is wrinkled in the mouth and also has a robust flavor: ☺️
It has little fragrance, but it is as refreshing as water and you can't stop drinking it.
It was a sake 🍶 that would go well with a variety of New Year's dishes.
Great job bourgeois✨.
Nice Masamune👍
Because it's New Year's 🎍.
It's totally possible🤣👍🍶✨✨
I'd rather you go for it even if it's not New Year🎍🍶✨✨.
I'd rather have Hiro-san go all out with the gold dust 🤩🤩.
chika🎍.
Gold dust 24/7 is crazy 🤣.
Gold dust has no taste so I'm wondering who it's for. I'll go all year round if the gold dust makes it taste better ⤴️ or something like that 🤣.
Good morning, Hiro 🐥.
Bourgeois Masamune 🤣The mizuhiki outing is so wonderful that if you don't drink it on New Year's, when will you drink it ✨It's hard to drink it because of the gold dust sinking into it 😅.
I want to display it on my altar 🙏✨
Hi Hiro 😃
Sake with gold dust in New Year! It's so nice and full of Showa 👍It looks like it would look great with gold dust even in 2021 🤗.
It's like a pika 🌟ei Masamune 😅.
Bourgeois Masamune is more appropriate 😆.
Hi Pon😄
As you said, the appearance couldn't be more New Year's 🎍😆 It looks good on a kamidana🤣.
I'm not used to gold dust in it and the first time I tried it, I was in tears.... I couldn't drink it...I was getting teary eyed 🤣.
Hi Jay & Nobby😄
Gold dust looks good in any era 😁Some Showa generation see gold dust as a wad of money flying in the air 💴...a remnant of the bubble era 😆.
Bourgeois Masamune, please push me to make it popular 🤣.
I'm definitely going to eat meat today.
I asked the owner for that meat!
As I was finishing the mackerel stewed in miso, the real star of the show appeared!
A teppan and ponzu vinegar appeared, and then the meat and vegetables appeared in front of me like this!
When I looked at the menu, I thought it was going to be steak, but it turned out to be yakiniku style!
This way I can grill at my own pace and it doesn't get cold.
But the portions are quite large!
As for sake, we have traveled as far north as Yamaguchi and Gunma, so let's go with Tohoku from here!
Yamagata Masamune is a sake we've had a few encounters with at Shoei-san and Torin-san!
This day was our first Aizan!
The azuki-colored label is very calm!
The rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it could be called Junmai Daiginjo.
Good aroma, beautiful fruity taste, and delicious sweetness!
It does not lose to the fat of meat!
It was the best choice as a food sake 😃.
Grilled meat and vegetables!
I've been coming here for about 2 years and I've never ordered anything from the menu before 🫨.
But next time you order it, you might want to ask for a few.
The fire went out and we had to have it replaced with a new one while we were grilling!
Thank you very much 😊
extensive knowledge
Rice used: Aizan from Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.
Strength: 16%.
It is delicious cold, but when warmed up, the aroma of rice wafts through the air and the flavor is amplified, as it bears the name of "heated junmai".
It is delicious cold.
Yamagata Prefecture Mitobe Shuzo Yamagata Masamune Inazo Christmas
I drank this sake last Christmas!
Yamagata Masamune Inazo, with an eye-catching Christmas label.
The aroma is mild.
The mouthfeel is fresh and slightly gassy.
Unlike the atmosphere of the label, it was a sharp sake.
Somewhat beer? Grassy aroma.
A bit of a schwash with it?
A little green, cotton candy sweetness.
Just as clean, smooth, and fresh.
A quick pull.
Taste level 3/5
Yamagata Masamune" from the 2023 brewing year has evolved even further.
The brewery's hard brewing water has given it a tropical fruit-like atmosphere with a strong flavor and a fresh fruitiness, and it is now freshly squeezed!
Yamagata's "Dewa Sanzu" sake rice is polished to 60%.
This year we will again offer a gold leaf sake that has been enjoyed on festive occasions since ancient times.
It has a good balance between the slightly sweet umami component and fresh acidity. It is a convincing finish that is typical of Yamagata Masamune, which has mastered the high road.
This is a completely made-to-order, freshly squeezed junmai ginjo that is immediately bottled and heated before being released from the brewery.
