Plucked from a garden

This junmai is made with begonia flower yeast, which only those who studied under the professor who isolated it may use. Like the begonia, which appears soft and delicate but comes in a variety of vivid colors, this Yamagata sake is light and clean-tasting yet sharp. A pleasant dryness lingers with an impression of fresh mint, as though it were newly plucked from a garden.

Rokkasen

Five small breweries came together to found Rokkasen in the Geographical Indication area of Yamagata prefecture, with the desire to make sake that resonates with people's hearts. The brewery is named after the so-called Six Immortal Poets of ninth century Japan, whose “waka” poems inspired the modern haiku. Like the poets who crafted their words so carefully, Rokkasen’s brewers are passionate about crafting sake whose taste is gentle yet profound. It is with reverence for Japan’s cultural past, as well as the traditions of sake making, that they strive to share the art of sake with the world.
