Yuto-Masamune (雄東正宗) sake used to be written using different Kanji characters (優等正宗). After this sake won accolades in a regional sake fair eight times consecutively, the chief tax office supervisor called our sake (Hero of Kanto area). At this point we changed the name from (優等正宗) to (雄東正宗). Both names are read as Yuto-Masamune, but the new name (雄東正宗) includes the Kanji characters 雄 (from Hero: 英雄) and 東 (from Kanto: 関東).
Junmai Ginjyo-shu is a sake that is made with Gouriki (強力) rice, a valuable variety of rice that was once on the brink of extinction. Gouriki (強力) is a rice breed that was mainly cultivated in Tottori Prefecture, but it almost vanished because difficulties in growing it. Nevertheless, the Gouriki (強力) rice breed was revived using five remaining seeds through significant efforts in organic cultivation.
These are our Oyama (小山) brand products that were chosen by the Oyama brand creation conference (小山ブランド創生協議会), organized to revitalize Oyama City.
The first kanji character (鷗: Oh) in this sake’s name comes from the alma mater, Hakuoh University (白鷗大学), of the chief production officer.
