Takaten Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course First Take typeD.
The second bottle for July in the Shinshu Secret Sake Hanpukai 2025 Gold Course is from Takaten. The challenge of this first take is that both are a cross between Yamae-Nishiki and Hitogokochi, both produced in Nagano Prefecture, and both use Alps yeast.
The specs are: sake degree ±0, acidity 1.3, and alcohol 15.5.
It has a fresh, honey-apple-like top aroma and a soft mouthfeel. The mild sweetness and refreshing acidity gradually spread the umami taste, and the aftertaste is clean and crisp.
The light and refreshing flavor was a good match with simmered squid and daikon radish!
