It was a middle-of-the-road sake, neither modern nor classic, with a refreshingly tasty acidity, an alty feeling that lingers in the throat, and a hint of bitterness that was easy to drink without being particularly unpleasant.
The brewer, Takeuchi Sake Brewery, went out of business last year, and there are only a few bottles left at regular prices and at some stores at the same price as a knockdown sale.
I am not a local, so I don't know, but there was a dispute with an employee over non-payment of wages, and there was talk of selling itself to a foreign capital company. I think it's a shame that we can't drink it anymore, as it was the first stop on our Tokaido Sake brewery tour last spring.
Nf bapak, good evening 🦉.
It's a precious sake that we can't see nowadays 🥹It seems that what you said really happened... It's a pity that the warehouse is gone and we can't drink it anymore 🥺.
Shiga Prefecture, Konan City. Takeuchi Sake Brewery Co.

Takeuchi Shuzo has been going through a lot of problems within the company, and although the website exists, the online store and the directly managed restaurant are closed at the moment. I wonder if they don't make sake anymore... Too bad I couldn't visit them at the only joint brewery opening in Shiga Prefecture 😭.
I found it in a liquor store I visited after a long time, so I bought it even though it was more than a year old.
I'm going to drink it cold.
It is clear, but the yellow color is clearly recognizable.
The initial aroma is quite strong, with a sweet aroma like ripe fruit and a sweet, burnt aroma that spreads.
It has a viscous and viscous texture, with a sweetness that precedes the taste.
The nose has caramel-like overtones, with a fluffy acidity, and then when it passes through the nose, the caramel-like burnt aroma is released, followed by the concentrated, rich sweetness of overripe fruit on the tongue, and a slight acidity, which gives it a dried fruit-like quality.
Wow ❗️ it's completely aged, but it's so good 😋.
I don't know if I can drink it anymore 💦.

Good evening, Nemuchi-san 🍶.
The liquor store I go to often said something to the effect that they were asked to buy the last sake, so it looks like the one available now is probably the last one 😔It was delicious and my favorite brewery.
Takubon-san, good evening 🌛I heard at the liquor store that you said you were going to do other different business instead of working hard at sake 👂️ I was also working hard at the Japanese sake festival 💦 even though I enjoyed Tadaiya, Meitetsu, etc 😞...
Good evening, Nemuchi🦉.
It's too bad you can't drink it 🥺I've never had Meijutsu, so I'm looking at liquor stores in the prefecture to see if there are any still around💦.
