I visited the brewery for the opening of the brewery.
We started with the sake from the barrels 😁.
Aroma of cedar 🌲 unique to barrel sake.
It is mainly sweet with a little bit of umami added.
It is simple and easy to drink 😙.
And here's the best part: ⭐️
Koyama Honke Shuzo owns 3 different Masamune. I couldn't find enough information on the internet, so I attempted to do some soulful field research❗️ I targeted an elderly person who seemed to know the history of the brewery👴🏻 and asked him about it.
(1) Marushin Masamune
Originally, it was made by a branch family, Koyama Shuzo. When the branch family closed its business, the main family took over the brand name, and now it mainly produces sake in cups. You can drink it at Maruken Suisan in Akabane ✨.
(2) Miyamiyamasa Sake
It is distributed in izakaya (Japanese style pubs) as "sake" without a brand name. Only one bottle is available.
This is very difficult to hunt 😵.
I found a bottle of Ippodo quietly displayed in a corner of the venue. There is something about being backed into a corner 😢.
I only took a picture 😘.
(3) Agatsuma Masamune
It has been a brand for a long time, but production has been discontinued due to various reasons. There are no plans to remanufacture.
It was a harvest just to know the current status of the three Masamune brands 🤗.
...but what about Miya Masamune😱?

Good morning, Hiro 😀
As expected of you, Masamune hunter, you got information on 3 types of Masamune at once🙆!
But the fact that it's only one bottle seems to be quite a hurdle 😅.
I hope you can at least do a tasting at the brewery opening 🤣.

Hi Yasbay 😃.
Yes, I wanted to taste it at the ‼️ brewery opening but unfortunately it wasn't available 😓.
Only one bottle & regular sake, which is pretty hard to find 😨.
But they sell it on Amazon!
I'm confused 🤣

Hi Hiro 🐦.
Three at once 😳and you're so right to check them out locally ✨An inquisitive mind? Desire to hunt? Great 😆👍I guess 3 in one collection might be a culling 🥺.
A bottle at a time - that's a problem 😂.

Good evening, Ponchan 🌙
I've learned that asking the brewer is the way to go 😆.
It's a bottle of regular sake...no matter how good the Marumashimasomune was there, I can't help but feel uneasy 😣.
Maybe if I can share it with you all 🤣.
