It is another brand of Kiyamasa Shuzo, the brewer of Jikin, and although I knew the name, this is the first time I have actually been able to get a bottle of it!
I have the impression that it is much rarer than Jikin, which is actually very well known in bars and restaurants.
When it was corked, it sounded a little gassy, but in reality, it was almost imperceptible.
The aroma is relatively mild, with a modest ginjo aroma like white grapes.
The aroma in the mouth is fruity and easy to drink, yet it is a sake that leaves a strong umami impression rather than sweetness.
The slight bitterness and astringency in the latter half of the taste is not so strong due to its sharpness, and I think it will be accepted by those who like sweet sake.
720, about 3300 yen
Takasago 🍶 which I took the plunge and brought along, is quite expensive, so I opened the bottle on a perfectly ordinary weekend with high expectations. ☺️ It is another brand of Jikin-sama and is said to be aimed at a food sake 🤤.
When the bottle is opened, it makes a nice sound 💨The top aroma is fresh and pear-like but mild🍐The sweetness gradually spreads in the mouth along with the fresh umami 😋As you are thinking, the umami spreads smoothly while the firm acidity and slight bitterness are nice accents to keep the overall balance 💕Jikkoman It has the same unique flavor as Jigokin-sama, and the sip is very satisfying 🥰I will have to take you back to Jigokin's other brand ❣️ if I see it again 💕💕.
Good morning, Nao888 😀
Takasago on a weekend when there's nothing going on is pretty gorgeous 😇
I would never dare to open a bottle of Jikin or Takasago unless I have a reason to do so 🤣.
Hi Nao888😃Takasago, another brand of Jikin! Looks kind of awesome 😆It looks well-balanced and must be a high level sake 🧐It's a pity that we can't see either Jikkom or Takasago because there are no stores near us 😭.
Hello, Nao888!
I'm so glad you went to Takasago-san - it's also a draft sake 🎵.
I had the hi-iri a while ago and I remember it was really good 😋.
I'd like to try the nama sake next time 😊.
Hi Nao888 😃
Takasago! We've never met you 🥲It might be harder to buy than it is now 😩But after reading your review, my desire to find it has increased a lot: ‼️
Hi Yasbay, I took the plunge because of the low stock of clear sake: ☺️ I really would have grinned and tucked it away when I saw it in the fridge 🤣 also, it looks like it's fire-aged now: ✨️
Hi Hina Hana Mama 🌞I've been curious about this for a while but it's a bit expensive 😅His now is good on its own and Takasago is supposed to be good with food 🍶It's so good, I'd love for you to drink it. ❣️
Hi ma-ki-San 🌞I went to Takasago ✨I was groaning "wow, mmmm!" at the very high level of sake 😋I hope you have a chance to try the raw sake and let me know the difference between it and the fire-aged one 💕.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🌞I'm not sure if they are very particular about their construction, but they don't appear in stores very often 🍶I haven't seen them in person for a while 🥰I'm very curious how they are rated by the international J&N standards, so please get them💕.
I know it's a little late, but I'd like to try this one that I bought when I visited Ise-san on New Year's Day🎶🍶.
Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️ beautiful ginjo aroma is faint 😉✨️
In the mouth, it is very mature and light 🎶😋, but the dryness comes later and it is very suitable for a mid-meal drink 🎶🍶, and it is a very calm and delicious sake 🎶😋, a little different from Jikin.
Yamadanishiki, 45% polished rice
As soon as you open it, oh! Kyoho flavors! It is very interesting. As it comes into contact with air, its beauty becomes more and more pronounced. It is good, but too beautiful. The aftertaste is strong. Personally, I prefer something with a little more character.
First Takasago
The freshness and refreshing acidity make it a perfect match with meals.
On top of that, it has a deep flavor reminiscent of Jikkoman, making it one of the best bottles we have ever tasted.
Tsumami was ahi jio (firefly squid)!
When I went to the sake store to stock up, I found that the brewery of Jikin produces a sake called Takasago once a year.
I bought it because it was the last bottle of this year.
It is delicious!
It is sweet and sour. My favorite 🤣🤣🤣
The owner recommended this sake as an everyday sake.
I bought it because I heard it tastes good heated up.
It's like old-fashioned sake.
There are a lot of good sake nowadays but this kind of sake is also good🙆.
This sake is made by Kiyamasa, the same company that makes Jikin. It is brewed by Kiyamasa, the same company as Jikin, but it is also very tasty heated.
