This sake offers an elegant and complex bouquet of honey, dried fruits, ripe banana, ume (Japanese plum), and subtle spice notes. The palate is smooth and rich, with a balance of sweetness and acidity. It is layered and deeply expressive, with a long-lasting finish reminiscent of noble rot wines or sherry.
The overall style is sweet yet never cloying, with remarkable depth and aging potential. Best enjoyed slowly at low temperatures, it also pairs beautifully with desserts or can be served as a digestif. It is not only a feast for the senses but also a heartfelt tribute to the supporters of the “Yamakawa Mitsuo” project over the past ten years.
This special limited-edition sake was released to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the “Yamakawa Mitsuo” project. “Yamakawa Mitsuo” is a collaborative brand created by four sake breweries in Yamagata Prefecture — Yamagata Masamune, Tatenokawa, Toko, and Uyo Otokoyama — and is symbolized by a personified character named “Yamakawa Mitsuo.” Each year, the brand releases multiple seasonal, highly creative, and stylistically diverse sake expressions.
