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 😋.

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.
