Named after the year the recipe was developed, just 125 years ago. It's an old-school style sake with a twist.
Tastes like: creamy, light ripe melons and citrus fruits
Why change something that tastes so good? Using a recipe that is 125 years old, this sake is just as relevant today as it was over a century ago. Using a traditional kimoto starter, the sake has a gorgeous acidity and balanced ripe fruitiness and earthiness that allows it to pair with many different types of food. This is surely one sake you should always have in your cellar.

About the Brewery: Yamagata Masamune

Tomonobu Mitobe is the fifth generation owner and Toji (brewmaster) of this family run brewery. Mitobe Shuzo focuses on the traditional way of making sake - when things are done slowly, with great care and attention to detail. The style of their sakes are generous, rich and expressive. The crisp and sharp finish characters of their sakes come from the mineral rich water source of the Yamadera temple, which is hard water from the Ou mountain range. And, the brewery even grows some of their own sake rice!
