【Yamagata Masamune Inazo Inekari Edition Estate-Grown Rice】

Inazo is a series from Mitobe Shuzo in Tendo, Yamagata, built around a simple idea: brewing sake with rice they grow themselves. “Inekari” means rice harvesting. Released for the harvest season, this edition focuses not on freshly pressed sake, but on the rounded sweetness and rice umami developed through maturation.

Compared with the fresh character of standard Inazo, the Rice Harvest Edition emphasizes a softer texture and greater flavour integration. The sake may carry a pale golden hue, with sweetness, rice umami and aromatics flowing naturally together.

Soft, ripe-fruit aromatics carry restrained caramel and nut-like notes. The entry is rounded, with sweetness and rice umami gradually unfolding. The middle is generous and layered, bringing aroma and flavour into harmony. A subtle citrus freshness may emerge towards the finish, adding delicate contrast to the supple rice depth.
