4.0★★★★☆
Unlike regular Takachiyos, the sweetness is moderate.
It is generally elegant though.
It has a piquant soda aroma, and although it is not labeled as a hara-shu, it has a unique flavor that is often found in hara-shu. I thought it could be a little sweeter, but I also thought it would be good as a food sake as it has a good umami flavor and is not too dry.
4.1
The juiciness that is typical of unfiltered sake. Elegant sweetness and aroma. The end result is a sake that goes down smoothly and can be drunk without hesitation.
I personally prefer the Hiragana Takachiyo series.
Sake
Unfiltered Nama Sake
Sweet and fruity aroma as soon as it is poured ✨.
Sweetness and acidity precede the slight alcohol and bitterness ✌️
When served with a meal, the acidity wraps everything up 😳
Delicious sake 🤗🤗
Recently, "Maki-ki" (winding machines) have become a common sight in Tokyo 😉.
Fresh aroma like melon 🍈.
Smooth and full of sweetness 🎵.
Sourness starts to appear in the middle and tightens up 👍️
Nice and refreshing aftertaste ✨.
Makiki TSUBASA Unfiltered Nama Sake
Rated 4.4
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malted rice (domestic), raw material rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Minamiuonuma, ratio of polished rice to total rice: undisclosed, nihonshudo, acidity: undisclosed, alcohol percentage: 14%, production date: April 2025
Another brand of Niigata Prefecture's Takachidai, Makihata is brewed only with water from the underground streams of Makihata Mountain and local sake rice grown in Minamiuonuma.
The brewery aims for a clean and delicate taste by using micro-bubble-washed "Yamadanishiki" rice produced in Minami-uonuma that has been flat-polished.
It has a refreshing, slightly effervescent taste and a smooth, refreshing texture on the tongue. The aroma is strawberry and lychee-like.
Another brand of Takachiyo Shuzo, Makihata summer sake 😆.
For some reason, I choose this one over the Takachiyo series😅.
Cool and promising label✨.
Low alcohol and refreshing, but fruity and softly spreading flavor 😋.
I think I'll try Takachiyo next time...
I think I'll have to go with Mackay...
