Asano Sake Shop
Aroma of grapes, a hint of rice flavor, dry sharpness and slight bitterness, sharp but lingering aftertaste, easy to taste at room temperature, more umami when heated.
Junmai Ginjo of Takachidai.
It has been a long time since I have tasted Takachidai.
It has a fruity and sweet mouthfeel. It has a sharp and slightly thicker texture, and it is still delicious.
100% Ipponshime produced in Minamiuonuma, Niigata Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio 53
It's so delicious! It is easy to drink, mildly sweet, and even though I chose a low-alcohol one, I end up drinking it at a high pace (lol).
I bought this sake in July in Minamiuonuma, Niigata, and it was not available when I went to Minamiuonuma last week, so I have to buy this sake every July...

This is one of the bottles we took with us when we went shopping at the Yukiguni Shuho Kanazawa-ya Sake Shop in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. It is a yellow label of Takachiyo, and this time it is a draft sake. It is a limited distribution product within Niigata Prefecture.
The rice used is 100% Ipponshime, which is a rice produced in Uonuma and suitable for sake brewing (a cross between Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku).
Rice polishing ratio is 53%.
Alcohol level is 16 degrees.
Sake degree is +3
Sake quality: Nama-shu (no heat-refining)
When the bottle is opened, the aroma is full of the freshness characteristic of nama-shu. The aroma of green apples and pears rises to the surface. Perhaps because of the gaseousness, the cork blew out when the bottle was opened for the first time in a long time💦.
When poured into a sake cup, it has a clear, very pale golden color and is light but fruity and lightly thickened.
When you take a sip, a pleasant sweetness spreads first, and you feel a fruity freshness. The soft umami spreads gradually, and the sweetness and acidity are well balanced, giving it a fruity juiciness and the fullness of rice. The aftertaste is crisp and clean, and even though you feel sweetness, the fresh acidity sharply tightens the aftertaste, resulting in a light and lingering finish. It has a soft umami and a fruity taste that is not too flashy. The alcohol content is a little high because it is a draft sake, but the fullness of flavor keeps you from getting tired of drinking it 🍶Tasty 😋.
Good morning, Daddy Takel 😃.
The locally-bought prefecture-specific is fascinating!
I had another Kanji Takachiyo the other day 😋It looks juicy & refreshing and delicious too 😃.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
Kanji Takachidai is also very attractive when fire-brewed, you know?
It's juiciness is more pronounced when it's a raw sake. It's not too sweet, it's crisp and delicious desu 😋.
I would like to repeat it.
Congratulations to pitcher Tanaka on his 200th win in Japan and the United States. Takachiyo is the best sake to drink on this special day. The aroma is gorgeous with a hint of pineapple.
It has a sweet taste with a strong rice flavor, so it is not very refreshing, but it is perfect for drinking over a long period of time. I like Takachiyo and Takachiyo series no matter what I drink.
