I bought a bottle at Sakamoto Shoten near Kaiun Bridge, where I had stopped for Akabu on a previous visit to Morioka (I also bought Akabu).
Washio Sake Brewery in Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture, was founded in the Bunsei Era (Edo Period). The brewery is named after Mt. Iwate, another name for its water source, Mt. The brewery's sake is rarely distributed outside of the prefecture, but Sakamoto Shoten seems to treat it as a highly recommended brewery, and they even had a collaboration sake with a store.
As the retro label suggests, Yukinotsuki is not a modern juicy sake, but the sweet, bitter, and crisp taste was relaxing and soothing.
