Tottori may rank near the bottom in production volume, but it stands apart for its high proportion of specially designated sake—most of it Junmai—known for its rich umami, depth, dryness, and earthy character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eNearly forty years ago, the brewery’s toji turned to Tamasakae rice out of necessity when Yamada Nishiki was in short supply. That decision sparked a lasting commitment to the varietal and reflects a spirit of experimentation that defined the era. Around that same time, the 1989 vintage was brewed. Today, Mantensei 1989 stands as a rare expression of that moment—patiently aged for decades and offering a singular glimpse into traditional Japanese sake craftsmanship. With only limited quantities remaining, it is an increasingly scarce and remarkable sake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Republic National","offers":[{"title":"720ml","offer_id":43084820676817,"sku":null,"price":580.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/8561\/7873\/files\/ChatGPTImageSep10_2026_03_54_50PM.jpg?v=1789073730","url":"https:\/\/www.pogoswine.com\/products\/mantensei-1989-single-vintage-sake-720ml","provider":"Pogos Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
