Junmai ginjo, the label of which changes color three times a year in line with the shipment timing of the saké-making rice, yeast, and koji malt, is "Yonetsuru Marumasu Junmai-ginjo (720ml). "Broadly speaking, a blue label indicates shipment between February and May, red indicates June to September, and Green indicates October to January. Though each is made with 100% Yamagata brewer's rice, the blue label is an early "Dewasansan"; the red label is a "Miyamanishiki", with fragile, clean, and summery features; and the green label is a "Dewanosato" defined by its strong, end-of-harvest umami flavor. Though has differing qualities as a liquor, each saké all share an aroma and full-bodied flavor that suggests a fruitiness you would not think could come from rice, as well as a brisk aftertaste that will make you want to drink glass after glass. The sakés are brewed with the aim of achieving the highest possible quality at the same price. We recommend them for customers who wish to experience and compare the various flavors offered by Japanese saké.

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.
