Yamagata Masamune Junmai Ginjo Omachi

Omachi rice from Okayama is used to brew this Junmai Ginjo - this is the preferred rice of the toji (master brewer). The ginjo method results in rich fruit flavors which synergize well with the natural umami of the Omachi. The mineral-rich water produces a fresh, fine acidity. This duality creates a texture which is pleasantly smooth. Overall, this sake is a northern interpretation of the classically southern Omachi rice variety. Versatile in pairing, does exceptionally well with spicy, roasted foods.

The Producer

山形正宗 Yamagata Masamune

Established in 1898 in Yamagata prefecture. The brewery uses water with high mineral content which is very rare in Japan. The water allows the brewery to brew sake with a crisp, sharp finish, like a famous sword “Masamune”.
Since 2010 the brewery only brews Junmai styles of sake, using no additional alcohol. For Yamagata Masamune, Junmai sake are better to fully express the rich umami flavours of rice. Their objective is making sake that are generous, rich and expressive of the rice and with a crisp finish.

Classification of Premium Sake

For high quality sake, rice is polished prior to processing with the goal of eliminating the bran and protein which encase the starch held at the center of the rice grain. The smaller the rice polishing ratio (expressed as a percentage of the original rice weight), the finer and more aromatic the sake. Learn more about the different classes of of Premium Sake...
