Sweet and mellow, a legendary sake
It is the well-known representative brand of the 14th generation and a legend. The sake that President Takagi put his whole heart and soul into.
The nose is gentle and slightly vanilla-like, with a hint of sweetness.
The mouthfeel is smooth and soft, like a pear, with a firm yet fine sweetness that spreads. And then it just glides away. Only a hint of the wonderful aroma is left behind, and it too disappears softly. It's still insanely delicious.
By the way, they call it "Secret Tamagari", which is a method of adding alcohol. This sake is specially brewed, so they add brewing alcohol to it, and they use their own pure rice lease-dried shochu to make it. The shochu is then mixed with water to make tamazake, which is called "Tama-return". By the way, Takagi Shuzo also sells shochu liqueur. I want to try it.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I would say Kayo from Kaze Tachinu. She is the younger sister of the main character, Jiro Horikoshi. She calls Jiro "niinii", which is cute. But it's pretty strong willed for a woman to get into medical school in that era. And she has the kindness to understand Nahoko's feelings.
Satisfaction Level: ★★★★☆ .
