A beloved seasonal release, this summer sake is as iconic for its vibrant fireworks label as it is for its flavor. Inspired by the warmth and nostalgia of Japanese summer nights, it offers a gentle, tropical aroma and a juicy taste reminiscent of lychee. The early summer releases have fuller umami and richer texture, while late summer releases are drier with lower alcohol for a lighter finish.

Enjoy chilled alongside seasonal summer dishes, ideally in a cool room. Whether you’re familiar with the Yamagata Masamune brand or simply drawn to the label’s striking design, this sake is a staple of the season, year after year.
