Temahima “Daiginjo” Yukimegami
Yamagata prefecture
A toji’s personal touch
“Temahima” means “time and effort,” with “te” also meaning “hand.” The brewmaster believes so wholeheartedly in its quality that he put his own handprint on the label. This seal of approval was also a vote of confidence that it would impress at the National New Sake Competition, where it has won awards — including gold — more than a dozen times. Enjoy its soft, elegant texture, and tasting notes of pear and melon.

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.
