Story of Sake, provides you with authentic sake experience combined with the local culture of Yamagata. Once you pass the mountain ranges and enter into Yamagata, you will see the untapped nature with local culture well preserved, where prominent “made-in-Yamagata” sake is brewed. In Yamagata, you will visit some of the best sake breweries in the world, know about sake and taste sake, as you visit wineries in Bourgogne. In the evening, you will be having sake pairing dinner – the best way to enjoy sake. Further, a lot of local experiences of your taste – including activities in the preserved nature and warming in an onsen – are waiting for you.

We have held the sake tasting party. The lineup was:

Yamagata Masamune Junmai;

Yamagata Masamune Dry Junmai; and

Yamagata Masamune made with its own yeast.

Talking about wine, if it is made from the same grape and by the same winery, they essentially taste similar. On the other hand, sake can taste different even though it is made from the same rice and by the same brewery. Indeed, these bottles are made from the same sake rice (Dewa Sansan) and by the same brewery (Mitobe Sake Brewery - our partner brewery), and they all taste different.

Wine is said that 80% of its taste comes from the quality of the grape, and 20% and it comes from who makes it. On the contrary, 80% of sake's taste comes from who brews it, and only 20% of it is from the ingredients. In that sense, sake is the product of craftmanship.

Visit Yamagata with us, Story of Sake, and you will be able to dive into the essence of sake and the craftmanship.
