Yosa Musume is a fine sake produced by Yosa Musume Brewery in Yosano, a mountainous area in northern Kyoto Prefecture. The brewery uses clear spring water from the foothills of Mount Oe, with views toward Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views.
The sake is carefully crafted using traditional brewing methods and two premium sake rice varieties: Yamada Nishiki and Iwai. It is known for its refined fragrance and smooth, light finish.
To appreciate its delicate flavors, Yosa Musume is best enjoyed chilled or over ice.
The Yosa region also has cultural connections to notable literary figures, including the mother of the poet Yosa Buson and the father of Yosano Tekkan, a poet and literary critic. In addition to its namesake sake, the brewery produces other varieties inspired by legendary figures from the Tango region.
