This locally distributed sake is brewed by the Takagi Shuzo brewery in Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture, which is known for its "Jyushiyo" brand. Like "Jyushidai," which has become synonymous with hard-to-find sake, it is almost exclusively available only in the brewery's home region. Founded in 1615 in the early Edo period (1603-1868), Takagi Sake Brewery is a long-established brewery that has been in business for over 400 years. The current head of the brewery is the 15th generation, Akitsuna Takagi, who returned to his hometown at his father's request in 1993 to take over the business. He eventually introduced the "14th generation" 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.
