This is the origin of many "Masamune" type sake from all over Japan.
It is the origin of many "Masamune"-style sake from all over Japan.
In order to stabilize and improve the quality of sake, the Japan Brewers Association began collecting, cultivating, and distributing yeast from the best sake of the time in the early 1900's. The first such yeast was Sakura Masamune's Kyokai Yeast.
The first of these yeasts was collected from Sakura Masamune.
It is said that Sakura Masamune is the originator of "00 Masamune," which is common in Japanese sake.
This is proof that the sake was so good that "Masamune" became synonymous with "delicious sake" at the time.
My tasting notes
⚪︎ Appearance and aroma: ⚪︎
The appearance is crystal clear and translucent.
The aroma is calm and gentle, yet crisp and refreshing.
Herbs such as chervil, a hint of koji, and a soft and elegant rice aroma.
⚪︎Taste, etc. ⚪︎
Salty texture.
The clear, subtle sweetness of rice is accompanied by a crisp, edgy acidity.
As the acidity passes through to the nose, it quickly clears up while giving the taste of rice with a hint of koji.
The finish is sharp, with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
It is not flashy, but its calm and quiet appearance reminds us of its history.

Good morning, Aladdin!
I didn't know that the original "Masamune" sake still remains 😲.
I think that many "Masamune" were born from "Sakura Masamune" and I can feel the prosperity of sake brewing in those days 🥰.

Good morning, Aladdin!
So the original Masamune is Sakura Masamune 😲.
Even if I'm not a hunter, I'm intrigued 🎵
I would love to have it with a nice meal during a relaxing time 😋.

Hi Gyve 😃
There are many theories about the origin of Masamune (like because it sounds like Seishu when you read Masamune phonetically), so just for your reference 😁.
I guess Nada's "Masamune" was synonymous with famous sake in the days when anything other than Nada sake was "crappy sake" ☺️🍶

Hi ma-ki 😃
There are a number of theories about the origin of Masamune, but the fact that yeast #1 was collected and distributed throughout the country is well documented!
It was also dedicated to hunters👍.
It was indeed a perfect food sake 👍☺️

Good evening Hiro 😃.
Nice Masamune👍Thank you 😊
Nothing would give me more pleasure than to be complimented by a Masamune hunter 😁.
I would love to have a "Masamune" sign in my house, but alas, it's in the brewery's collection 😆.

Good evening, Pon 😃.
The #1 yeast was a phantom for a while, but it's making a great comeback 🤔.
I appreciate the 1-gou bottles when the cellar is full!
The miniature P-box and the size of the 1-gou bottle subtly matched 😁.
