Takaten Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course First Take typeD.
The second bottle for July in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course is from Takaten. The challenge of this first take is that both are a cross between Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi, both produced in Nagano Prefecture, and both use Alps yeast.
The specs are: sake degree ±0, acidity 1.3, and alcohol 15.5.
It has a fresh, honey-apple-like top aroma and a soft mouthfeel. The mild sweetness and refreshing acidity gradually spread the umami taste, and the aftertaste is clean and crisp.
The light and refreshing flavor was a good match with simmered squid and daikon radish!

Soft and sweet aroma. Full of rice aroma and flavor. Tongue tingling. Slightly dry, rice-based sake. Delicious. When ice is added, the sweetness appears and the sharpness increases. You can gobble it down. Takaten is amazing.
We bought it at a supermarket near the Takaten Sake Brewery. There is a huge selection of sake from Okaya and Suwa.
Takaten has had a sake called "Rock" for quite some time, which is recommended to be mixed with ice and watered down, and they added this to their lineup about 5 years ago in response to the high demand for junmai sake.
It is dry but has good sweetness and acidity, and is delicious with a good balance!
It has a strong umami flavor, but it's smooth and not tiring to drink, so it's good on its own or in combination with other wines!
It's so delicious!

Takaten First Strike typeD
Gentle aroma like white grapes.
It has a gentle sweetness and flavor, and is pleasant to drink. Slightly sweet and gentle taste. The lingering aftertaste is also moderately pleasant 😊.
changing for the better
Quite nice aroma, like fresh fruit. Sticky and alcohol-derived numbness on the tongue. A bit of bitterness stands out.
When ice is added, it transforms into a sweet, soft, and refreshing taste. A great sake that can be drunk endlessly when paired with a meal. Umeyesu. Perfect for summer.
Takaten recommends high alcohol content sakes, including this one, to be drunk on the rocks. The locals also serve regular sake on the rocks, though.
Purchased at a sake brewery. The urban area of Okaya.
A killifish and three whoopers, the toji's hobby, greet you. No names yet. Last time, there was only killifish.

Yes, it's the weekend!
Let's drink it. The green bottle is a beautiful Takaten.
I thought it was sweet, and when I put it in my mouth, I was surprised to find that it was rich and had strong bitterness and acidity. And while eating rice, it gradually became sweeter and sweeter.
When I drank it at a bar in Nagano, I thought it was sweet but it was bitter😅.
Well, Thursday I went to Hamasta🐯...
I had such good seats that I could see the cheerleaders' abs...
Good evening, Hanapin-san.
Can you dance or something? ✨
It seems like at home, in between times, everyone dances and gets pulled out by the camera to get a picture.
Meanwhile 🐯fans are either drinking beer or going to the bathroom😅.
Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌉.
The 🐯 fans in front of me were waving to the cheerleaders.
The people nearby were buying from their favorite 🍺 vendor and fell asleep at the scene of the excitement🤣They didn't wake up even after the game was over.
Ane-san.
That was a disappointing loss 💦.
I guess you drank too much alcohol and didn't cheer enough. 🤣Drinking 🍺 while watching a baseball game is delicious...
Good evening, Ane-san, good seats at 3rd base ✨Nice play by Maki that day 😏I've never had Takaten, but it looks delicious. It's a nice name that sounds like it will fly off the shelves: ⚾️
Good morning, Koizo-san!
My colleague who lives in Kannai said "I heard you cheering in the top of the 9th inning" 😅
Even though we lost, the drinks after the game were delicious 🍺.
Good morning, missamisao 🌼
It was a day when Maki got me 💧The collaboration lunch box with Sakiyo-ken looks delicious but...
I'm seat K in infield A ✨Fun seat.
Takaten, I often see you in Nagano, so next time you come back home, please come 💚
