"Yonetsuru Mahoroba Junmai" is a Junmai brewed from 60% milled "Dewanosato", a sake-brewing rice cultivated by the local Takahata Sake Rice Research Association in Yamagata Prefecture. Produced by brewers who have honed their palate through food that uses superior ingredients found in their local area which is steeped in nature, this sake achieves a wonderful balance between its umami flavor and crispness, and is an outstanding accompaniment to local ingredients and dishes. With every sip, you can enjoy the sake's delicate aroma as well as its flavor which is both clean and profound. Its name "Mahoroba" is a word derived from the "wanderer's songs" in the ancient texts "Kojiki" and "Nihonshoki," which means "a wonderful place." It is thus a fitting name for a sake produced using ingredients grown in the fertile soil of Takahata, which is affectionately known as the "Mahoroba village." "Mahoroba" is a basic Junmai that has been carefully brewed while remaining faithful to the foundations of sake-brewing.

About "Yonetsuru"
The name "Yonetsuru" is derived from the bowing posture of ears of rice and the locally told tale "Crane's Return of a Favor." It incorporates a wish to create a sake that conveys a sense of gratitude and is imbued with sincerity. Under the concept of brewing that starts with rice-growing, this Japanese sake uses locally produced rice to offer a refreshing balance of scent, taste, and sharpness.
