Finally, I found Takagaki... and it's delicious!
The aroma is...cocoa? It's not a trendy flavor, but it's super balanced. Personally, it's best at room temperature.
Above all, this sake goes well with all kinds of Japanese food and snacks and doesn't get in the way. But it has a strong statement. The set of Squid Somen is also delicious, everything is great. (It sells out quickly, and it's not sweet.) It's not a sake I'd recommend to everyone, but it's one you should try at least once. (I bought a whole bottle, so I'm sure I'll be able to warm it up... I want to drink Ryuujinmaru too...)
The current toji, Nobuyo Takagaki, used to do accounting and such, but after her husband passed away, she took over his will and is now making sake almost entirely by herself. I can't imagine how hard it was for me, but if it is put into this taste, I must be grateful and drink it.
Still, it's delicious. I wonder if I can buy it again...?
