The famous sake "Yuki no Matsushima" was named after the famous scenic spot in Mutsu, which was also praised by Basho, the supreme Japanese haiku poet. It snows only a few times a year in Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture, and the splendor of Matsushima, especially when it is first covered with snow, is the reason for the name of the sake, which is meant to represent the Tohoku region.
Using Miyagi yeast, this sake is brewed slowly at low temperatures until the sake meter value reaches around +8. It is a dry junmai-shu with a subtle ginjo aroma and the natural flavor of rice. It can be served chilled, at room temperature, or lukewarmly heated to enjoy the subtle changes in the flavor and the matching with food.
