Kiyamasa Shuzo's "Takasago Junmai Daiginjo Hi-iri
Kiyamasa Shuzo was founded in the middle of Edo period in 1818.
Before "Jikin" was created, Kiyamasa Shuzo was producing "Takasago.
However, there are many brands and breweries of "Takasago" throughout Japan (such as Takasago Shuzo in Hokkaido and Fuji-Takasago Shuzo in Shizuoka Prefecture), and to avoid confusion, "Jikin" was created as a firm brand of the Kiyamasa Shuzo brewery.
We started brewing the "Takasago" brand as a new challenging sake different from "Jikin". We have decided to sell sake made with new challenges in terms of yeast and production methods under the traditional "Takasago" brand, separately from the "Jikin" brand.
The brewer, water, and environment are the same, so we hope that our customers will be able to experience the unique characteristics of Kiyamasa Sake Brewery beyond the yeast and production method.
This is a new product brewed with a kimoto (sake mother) in a "wooden vat" that was introduced last year.
It has a grape-like flavor typical of Kumamoto No. 9 yeast, a concentrated and powerful umami, and a smooth and refreshing finish.
This is an excellent item to drink at special occasions.
Rice used: Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio : 45
Sake meter : -1
Yeast : Kumamoto No. 9
Acidity : -
Alcohol content : 15.5
The aroma is mild, but the moment it hits the palate, the robust flavor, elegant sweetness, and fine fruitiness are transmitted to the tongue, and it is insanely delicious! The slight effervescence also accents the taste 🍶 This is insanely delicious! (This is the second time I've had it.)
We've reached 900 check-ins ✨
The commemorative sake is Takasago, which I bought at a nearby liquor store when I drove to Kiyamasa Sake Brewery.
I've been back in Osaka for the past month, so I've been exploring new sake shops 👀 and thanks to that, I have over 20 bottles in stock at home... 😅I'm sure it won't be long before I reach 1000 check-ins!
I'll be actively participating in sake events in the Kinki area that I couldn't attend before 🙌!
Cold sake
Gorgeous ginjo aroma
Gentle and light on the palate
The rice flavor and the volume of the sake is enough to be served as a mealtime sake.
Hi Eejit 😀
Congratulations on your 900 check-ins ㊗️🎊🎉!

Thank you, ma-ki-!
We will work hard to reach 1000 check-ins ✊.
Please visit a sake brewery that has a direct sales shop where you can talk with the brewer 😊.
Thank you Gyve, I'm glad to hear that!
I see Genpei every now and then but haven't had a chance to buy it 😂If you haven't had it at the event, please do 🙇.
Thank you, Nemuchi 😊.
My fridge is already full, so the majority of my sake is either room temperature or warmed up 😂.
I'll keep trying to find more liquor stores in the Kinki area ✊.
I got a nice bottle of Jikin 💖.
But ‼️ Hiro gave me some great information, so I'm going to let you sleep a little 😴 😵💫
But I want to drink...
That's right ☝️ this is the time to drink Takasago🍶 that D Paisen gave me🥰!
So, I opened the bottle: ❣️
I had heard rumors that it was drier than Jikin. I had heard that it was drier than Jikin.
It's fresh, fresh, chilled, and delicious.
It's sweet, sharp, and easy to drink.
Jikin is good but so is Takasago 🥹💕!
Thank you Hiro and D Paisen 😊.
The 4th picture is my recent favorite ramen 🍜.
Ramen Maeda❣️ is delicious 🤤.
Good evening, Mr. Muro 😃.
You are drowning your days of patience in high sand 🙄.
What if this is not so good😇
I'm going to be nervous too when I open the bottle 🤣.
Looking forward to Muro's superageage review... ⭐️
Good evening, Mr. Muro!
Jiisama's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I wonder what it is 😍.
And Takasago as a diversion 🎵I've never had a draft sake, but Jikin-sama is delicious, but Takasago is also very good 😋.
Hi Muro 😃
Ji Jin san is sleeping 😴.
How long do you plan to let her sleep 🧐?
I think I'll go visit you quietly 😉.
But I've never had Takasago 🥲 so I'll have to have that first!
Good morning, Mr. Muro!
I'm jealous of you because I've missed two consecutive "Jigen no e no e no yakata" drawings 🤣.
The ramen looks delicious, is it a Kusubi type?
If you look closely, there is something that looks like a hamburger steak on the other side 🤔.
Hello, Hiro-san...
I'm sure Hiro-san would be the right person to do this ‼️...
I'll be looking forward to it 😁.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in a little bit more time 🥰.
Hi ma-ki-!
I managed to get it 🥹💕.
I'm really looking forward to it 😋!
I was also lucky enough to drink Takasago: ‼️
Seriously, it's so yummy 🤤think about it again 🤤.
Thanks, Dr. Jay & Nobby 😊.
I wonder if it's New Year🎍...
Or Tochigi Prefectural Association ⁉️
Oh, was it X-type there 😅.
You can stop by while sightseeing in Aizu 🆗🙆♂️
Hi Gyve 😍.
I was able to get a ras 1 GET on points😍.
I still had a bottle but the price 😱.
The ramen 🍜 is a knotty mashimashi 🐟.
The owner also has a great hamburger steak with his experience in a western restaurant 💖.
Good morning, Mr. Muro😄!
Congratulations on getting a nice bottle of Jigon 😆👏👏Jigon is almost always drunk after it has been stored 🤣It's always delicious 🤭but you can enjoy it later 😘I'm glad Takasago was able to help 🤗.
Thank you, Tsubu: ❣️
I'm relieved to hear that: 😮💨
The good stuff 🍶 at Jikkai made me shiver🖐️🫨🖐️
Takasago is also seriously delicious and impressive 🥹✨
Zeke tsuboya🙌
Thank you for participating in the brewery opening 🙏 4️⃣
At the Yasubee family, we basically do a home drinking comparison in various ways 🤣.
We planned several patterns of drinking comparison this time as well, and this is a comparison of different Jun Dai brands from the same brewery 😀.
This is the sake we had at the "Yasubeyesu Kurahiraki" (5).
After Jikin, Takasago from the same brewery was served.
We had a luxurious Junmai Daiginjo comparison between Jikin and Takasago.
The entrée we brought with us was corn tempura and beans? Mushrooms? Salami? He was delicious.
Hi Ao-chan 🐦
I was wondering about the yakisuri from Saki Yoken and decided to go with the 🌽 which I can serve as it is 😊I was going to ask who made the salami 🤭 it was delicious and I will look at Seijo Ishii for sure 😁.
Yasubeyes' warehouse opening party (5)
Comparison of different brands from the same brewery. KIYAMASA SAKE Brewery in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture.
I drink a lot of Jikin, but this was the first time for me to try Takasago.
Takasago Junmai Daiginjo Hi-ire
The sweetness and umami are mild and balanced without being showy, and the aftertaste is a bit dry and refreshing. It has a slightly sour and refreshing aftertaste. Everyone thought it was better suited as a food sake.
In terms of specifications, the Nabari is more polished and uses Yamadanishiki, but again, I am a commoner who wants to talk about the price.
When you compare them, it is easy to compare them, but they are both wonderful sake.
If I had to choose, I would personally choose the Jikin, but I guess it is really a matter of taste.
Yasubeyes' family storehouse opening party (4)
We had the luxury of comparing Takasago and Jikin 😍.
This is the first time since the label change!
It's clean and refreshing, but has a little woody atmosphere maybe because it's from a wooden vat.
Compared to Jikin, Takasago is less sweet and more of a food sake type of sake.
I wrote a similar review when I drank Takasago 4 years ago😅.
㊗️ Outstanding Player Award⚾️🏆
Participated in a company related baseball tournament⚾️ again this year!
Luckily, we made it to the finals😆.
In the finals, he hit a two-base hit and made a series of hustle plays on defense as well‼️
Unfortunately, we lost the game,
But to my delight, I was chosen as the ⚾️ outstanding player award 🤗.
I got the trophy 🏆‼️
It's the best 😭❗️
We are so happy to celebrate!
㊗️Takasago 🍶 is open for celebration 🎉!
I imagined it to have a classic flavor, but it's more modern than I expected 😄.
Mildly fruity 😋👍
The taste is mildly fruity 😋👍 As expected of the Kiyamasa Shuzo brewery, which brews Jikin, the Jikin is right there in the back 🥰!
I drank it thinking 🤣‼️

Good evening, Ace😄.
Congratulations on your outstanding player award🏆㊗️
Takasago🤩 for the celebratory sake🥰 I can feel your joy 🥰.
Great day, great sake ❣️ good day 💕
Good evening, Ace!
Great hustle play on the two-base hit ⚾.
Takasago is a really good drink, so it was a good celebration 😋.
Congratulations on your outstanding player award 😋🏆️
Good evening, chika!
It was a two-base hit to right field over second with Kakin ❗️ and ⚾️😊.
We didn't score any runs because we didn't have any runners on, but it might have at least sparked a lineup 🔥😄.
Good evening, Mr. Manachie 😙.
Yes, ❗️ I can still move 😙.
But this hustle play will come later... 🫣.
More on that in a future post 😉.
I'm a simple person who feels metaphysical when I drink Takasago 🍶😇.
Good evening, HinaHanaMama!
Thank you very much 🙇♂️
I can only get 🏆 at the finals ⚾️
Actually, I've been wanting one for a long time 🤩.
I was so happy ‼️
Drinking Takasago 🥂 made it the best day of my baseball career 😊👍
Good evening, Pon.
Thank you 🙇♂️
I was hustling so much that ⚾️ I felt like I was flying 2 meters in the air like superman 🤣I guess it was a bad idea not to take a passive stance 😅.
It's hot 🫠 even though we've passed the Obon holiday.
This past week I have been working and doing all the household chores as my mom is on an overseas expedition with the youngest one ❗️I can do it if I do it ‼️It's not my first time so I'm getting used to it😊.
Well, I ran out of Sogape-san, which I had been using as a food wine, so I opened a bottle of this one as a reward for myself 🎁.
It's refreshing and deep. It has the freshness and sweetness of micro-gas, but also the acidity and bitterness of a sake made from the traditional sake brewing method of "nama-hashiroshi" (traditional sake brewing method). Various elements are combined into one, yet elegant. It's delicious and deeply soaked in water 😋‼️
I'm back and ready to go again 💪😤💪😤😤.
Good morning, Seigo!
Your wife and children are on an overseas trip 😲.
While doing household chores, I'd like to reward you with a cup of sake ✨.
Takasago-san is delicious 🤤!
You will be fully recovered after drinking good sake 😁✨✨✨
Good evening, ma-ki-, good evening 😊 everyone is finally back 😌I am so happy and energized to be able to have a good drink every night 💪Takasago, it's not too glamorous and it's so delicious 🤤.
Good evening, Mr. TADROP!
I see you drank Takasago 🎵.
I also had it for the first time this year, and I remember it was a really delicious sake, although it had a different taste from Jikin-sama 😋.
