I purchased this bottle at Sasaya-san, where I stopped by during my trip to Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, in September. The bottle we brought with us was the regular distribution version of Junmai Daiginjo bottle-warmed and fire-aged sake. It is an anniversary limited edition autumn sake from Mitsuo Yamakawa. Kojima Sohonten of Toko is in charge of brewing. The rice used is 100% Dewa Sanzu produced in Yamagata Prefecture. Polishing ratio is 50%. Alcohol content is 14%. Association yeast No. 10 was used to commemorate the 10th anniversary 🤗.  The aroma when the bottle is opened has a mild and elegant fruity aroma. The light aroma of bananas and white peaches and the soft aroma of freshly cooked rice rise up in a flurry without being too gorgeous.  When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, light golden color with a smooth and silky nature.  When you take a sip, the mouthfeel is soft and reserved. Gentle rice flavor and mild acidity make up the fullness of the flavor. There is a natural fruitiness that is not spectacular. The aftertaste is crisp with little bitterness or astringency. A hint of rice sweetness is perceived as a lingering aftertaste that is not too long. It is not too flashy, but has a calm and gentle taste. After all, Yamakawa Mitsuo is not to be missed. We also enjoyed the autumn sake.
