Takasago Matsukizuru Junmai Daiginjo Kimoto Unfiltered Nama.
Takasago, brewed by Kiyamasa Shuzo, famous for Jikin, is a brand with a long history, originally brewed before the birth of the Jikin brand, but in recent years they have renewed the label and are continuing to take on new challenges in yeast and production methods.
It is made from Yamada-Nishiki from Mie Prefecture, brewed with Kumamoto No. 9 yeast and a wooden vat, and served unfiltered and unpasteurized.
The nose has a hint of apple and grape, with a touch of Jikin, perhaps due to the same water used for brewing. The taste is harmonious with mild sweetness, elegant acidity, and a deep umami flavor. I spent a moment immersed in happiness while chewing on the long-lasting aftertaste.
