Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Omachi
This is the first sake created by the current head brewer Mitobe Tomonobu, after he rejoined his father’s business. The idea was to combine the features of two junmai ginjo he had tasted before, both made with Omachi rice. One was from Aichi prefecture and was a full-bodied sake which balanced a powerful sweetness and a refined acidity. The other was from Yamagata prefecture and presented a very clean, elegant taste accompanied by the pronounced umami of the Omachi rice. This sake delivers both taste profiles and has been a long-time favourite since its conception.
