Rating from Customers

4.1

3 reviews

Clear platinum in color, this sake offers enticing aromas and flavors of vanilla rice pudding, subtle nutmeg, cinnamon, and apple tart. It boasts a silky texture with a dry-yet-fruity profile, ranging from medium to full-bodied. The finish is smooth and resonant, with hints of papaya, plantain, and earthy undertones, showcasing excellent complexity and depth. Heating this sake can amplify and enrich its distinctive characteristics. Warm it to your preferred temperature and savor its enhanced flavors. This sake pairs wonderfully with sashimi, sushi, and a variety of seafood dishes. It also complements vinegary and lightly fried foods. Notably, it elevates the flavor of raw oysters, reducing their fishy aftertaste.

Tohoku Meijo Brewery Company

Yamagata

Founded in 1893, our brewery was renamed Hatsumago ("First Grandchild") in celebration of the birth of the family’s eldest son, with the hope that it would be a sake cherished by all. Since our founding, we have remained dedicated to the traditional kimoto brewing method. This technique, which utilizes naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria from the air, requires exceptional skill and expertise. Our kimoto sake is known for its deep, complex flavors with a clean finish—enhancing the taste of any dish it accompanies.
