Asahi Hawk New Sake Nama-Shu" by Takagi Shuzo This locally distributed sake is brewed by the Takagi Shuzo brewery in Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture, known for its "Jyushiyo" brand. While "Jyushiyo," which has become synonymous with hard-to-find sake, is not available in the local area, "Asahitaka" is almost exclusively available in the brewery's home town. It has long been a popular local evening drink, but some say that the quality of sake has improved with the advent of "Jyushidai. Founded in 1615 in the early Edo period (1603-1868), the brewery has been in business for more than 400 years. The current owner is the 15th generation, Akitsuna Takagi, who graduated from the brewing department of Tokyo University of Agriculture and worked in the distribution industry in Tokyo before returning to his hometown at his father's request in 1993 to take over the brewery. He eventually introduced "Jyushiyo" to the world, which is said to have been named in honor of his father. Asahitaka" has a slightly sweet aroma and a smooth taste, and some say it reminds them of "Jyushidai." It is a special honjozo made with natural spring water from 25 meters underground, and is highly valued for its soft taste with a ginjo aroma, fresh texture, and high cost performance.
