A valuable sake that can only be bought for two days a year 牡牡
Dry, crisp, and delicious❗
You can gulp it down, but it's a dangerous drink with an alcohol content of 20 degrees (lol)

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
Today we visited the Tottori & Okayama Antenna Shops, a place of relaxation for Masamune hunters 📡. As soon as I arrived there, I started looking for Masamune and found it 🤩.
It's sake 🍶.
It has a crisp, Hakka-like aroma.
It is also very refreshing on the throat.
The umami of the rice is subdued, and then there is a subdued sweetness and an equally subdued acidity. Overall, it has a light and simple taste 😙.
It is probably best suited as a food sake 🍶.
The Hakka flavor, combined with the oiliness of the food, seems to help the oil from the food to be washed away quickly 😁.
Nice Masamune👍

The 800 check-in is the H27BY (2015 brewing year) Sanko Masamune from which Toji Takagaki retired 😆.
We were lucky to get it 😊.
This is the only sake from Mr. Takagaki but we are holding Takagaki festival 😅🍶.
When opened in the fridge, it smells slightly like a soy sauce warehouse (there was a soy sauce warehouse in my neighborhood when I was a kid) or Shaoxing sake.
It's a dry and light sake when cold.
Sanko is still a warmed sake, so I'd recommend heating it up 🍶.
The top aroma is the aromatic aroma of a freshly heated sake.
When heated, it does not have a matured aroma.
In the mouth, you first feel sharp acidity and spiciness.
The acidity is not as strong as that of Sanko Tenpyo's Namahashi or Yamahai, but it is quite good.
There is a slight sweetness and a beautiful umami that does not make you feel the rice polishing ratio of 72%.
This is a perfect food sake 🍶😊.
I don't know if this is the original taste since it is an old sake, but it was deeply delicious 😌.
After retiring, he returned to farm near his hometown, but unfortunately, he died in a field accident last year 🥲.
I learned of his death when I saw a relative of his on Instagram late last May with a picture of H27BY "Katsumasa" to inform me of his passing.
A toast to Mr. Katsumasa Takagaki 😌🍶.
The fourth picture is a sake from the brewery where Mr. Takagaki worked in the past.
