This special limited-edition sake marks the triumphant return of master brewer Yukio Sakata, one of the renowned Noto Toji masters, after a two-year hiatus. Having trained under Masayoshi Hase of Kaiun (one of the legendary “Four Noto Masters”) and serving as Toji at Sogen since 2001 — where he earned six consecutive Gold Medals at the National New Sake Awards — Sakata is regarded as a key figure in preserving and evolving the Noto brewing tradition.
The sake itself is a testament to craftsmanship — umami and acidity intertwine delicately on the palate, achieving perfect balance. The texture embodies the softness and harmony unique to junmai sake, leading to a refreshing and lingering finish. Elegant yet approachable, it is a pure expression of depth, precision, and the artisanal heart of Noto.
