The distinctive kame-aji — a unique nuance that floats within its crystalline clarity — defies description. A thoroughly polished ginjō-style approach might subdue that character, but that would miss the point. Kame-no-O reflects the brewer like a mirror, revealing their philosophy and intent.
A complex and layered aroma of green grapes, crisp apple, juicy nashi pear, and fresh chamomile, with sweet lactonic notes elegantly framed by cedarwood.
On the palate, it begins with a taut, restrained impression before opening up to reveal a gentle sweetness and savoury depth, imparted by the Kame-no-O rice. A bright, lactic acidity lends balance and clarity, guiding the flavour toward a clean, focused finish.
Ash is a creation that harnesses various techniques — such as increasing the proportion of kimoto — to fully draw out the potential of this Kame-no-O. Known as one of the hardest and most unyielding sake rice varieties to brew with, it is a classic slow-starter whose flavour deepens significantly with extended refrigerated ageing.
A sake for those who appreciate a story in every sip, and a legacy in every grain.

「アッシュ」は「亀の尾」を用いた新政の象徴的作品です。透明感の中に独特な“亀味”が漂い、造り手の思想を映し出す鏡のような存在。明治期に山形庄内で選抜された亀の尾は、東日本の多くの酒米の祖として知られ、硬質でスロースターターな特性を持ちます。本作では生酛を増量するなど多彩な技術を駆使し、そのポテンシャルを最大限に引き出しています。長期熟成によって味わいが深まる、まさに新政の醸造哲学を体現する一本です。
