Producer Tasting: Mitobe Shuzo, Yamagata ✹ 28.08.26
Mitobe Shuzo is located in the scenic town of Tendo, in the mountainous region of Yamagata. The brewery’s sake brand, Yamagata Masamune, is among the most sought-after by sake connoisseurs in Japan. Given their standing in the industry, it took us several years to establish ourselves as an official importer of their sake (as was our ambition since the beginning). After tasting their sake, we hope you’ll agree with us that it was worth the effort. The brewery is led by the charismatic Toji (master brewer) and Kuramoto (brewery owner) Tomonobu Mitobe, who is the fifth-generation owner in the brewery’s family lineage. Yamagata Masamune sake is a stylish and expressive sake, crafted according to Mitobe’s vision. During the tasting, we will taste a range of different varieties from Mitobe’s hand, to get a deeper understanding of his craftsmanship, sake vision, and the raw materials that form the foundation of Yamagata Masamune sake. We have about 12 different varieties in our sake portfolio, which is about the largest selection outside of Japan. This even includes the brewery’s legendary Umeshu, which will also be served at the tasting. We are incredibly excited to introduce this fantastic brewery to you, with whom we have built a close and inspiring relationship over the past five years. We are also very much looking forward to a hyggelig and intimate evening with you in the tasting room.
