Crafted to honor the legendary Yeast No. 7 that put Masumi on the global map, this limited-edition Junmai Daiginjo is a sake of extraordinary finesse and heritage. Made with top-grade Yamadanishiki rice polished to 40%, this sake is brewed in small batches and hand-numbered to mark its rarity (only 1,000 bottles made). Elegant yet bold, it presents a refined umami core with hints of melon and pear, a gentle aroma, and a satin-like finish. A must-have for collectors and sake connoisseurs.

PAIRING
This sake shines alongside refined dishes like toro sashimi, butter-seared scallops, or lightly seasoned kaiseki plates. The layered umami and graceful texture beautifully enhance simple yet premium ingredients, making every pairing feel elevated and intentional.
SERVING

ABOUT THE BREWERY
Masumi/Miyasaka Brewery
Masumi, a nationally admired sake brand, was founded in 1662 in Suwa, where a tradition of precise craftsmanship led the city to become the center of the silk industry. Still today, this attention to detail remains at the heart of the Masumi philosophy. In the 1920's, the brewery fell on hard times.The brewery's president, Masaru Miyasaka, appointed a young, 28-year-old sake prodigy named Chisato Kubota as toji. The two travelled up and down Japan, knocking on the door of the master and seeking knowledge.
