Yamahai pure rice, brewed in natural Akita cedar wood vats. Alcohol content 16%, rice polishing ratio 70%. This sake has a bone-like flavor typical of Yamahai Junmai. However, it also has a smooth and gentle feel on the tongue. It is light and tasty, with no hint of a cloying taste. I did not detect any aroma of wooden vats. According to the explanation on the label, "This product is brewed in a wooden vat made from over 200-year-old amasugi (natural Akita cedar) trees that were cut down in the Yondai River basin in Akita Prefecture around 1975. Amasugi is a durable wood with narrow annual rings and little shrinkage. Above all, it is characterized by its beautiful, brightly colored grain. We wanted to convey this beauty, so we photographed the surface of the vat and used it as the background for the label. Later, we thought it was impossible to obtain amasugi because logging was banned, but Odate City's Kutsuzawa Seisakusho kindly gave us some of their carefully preserved amasugi for our use. I will not explain the sake at all. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful grain of the wood on the label and think about the passage of time," he said.
