Hatsumago
Hatsumago(初孫) is a sake brand crafted by Touhokumeijo Co., Ltd. in Yamagata, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 19 sakes on OneSip.
Touhokumeijo was established in 1893 in Sakata, Yamagata Prefecture, and renamed its flagship brand Hatsumago in the early Showa era when the founder's first grandchild was born, expressing the wish that the sake be loved as widely as a cherished grandchild. Every product is brewed using the traditional kimoto method without exception, a labor-intensive approach the brewery has maintained since its founding that builds complex, layered flavor. Hatsumago has won the International Wine Challenge Trophy three years in a row from 2018 to 2020, with the brewery sourcing locally grown Yamagata rice varieties including Dewasansan and Dewanosato.

Recent Hatsumago Reviews
Tasted chilled, it’s very refreshing, with lots of apple and fruity notes. On the nose, I get miso and umami sents, along with a very present alcoholic note. All in all, very pleasant
on Hatsumago Denshoukimoto Honjozo →Not bad, sweet and refreshing when chilled, but with temperatures rising, it's bit sharp. Good for leisure
