＜A firm, gently wrapped, slowly delicious sake.
PB sake from Takagaki Shuzo, the brewer of Ryujinmaru.
This sake was brewed with the exact same specifications (rice, water, and yeast) as the Junmai Ryujinmaru. However, while Ryujinmaru is a strong, unpasteurized sake, this is an easy-drinking, watered-down, fire-aged sake.
The aroma is soft and sweet. Oh! It does not have the gusto of Ryujinmaru, but it is gentle. But there is definitely a similarity between the two.
The taste is the same. It has a strong but gentle flavor. It is slowly delicious. The rich sweetness that spreads slowly behind the umami is also wonderful. Yummma! The most delicious dish of the day!
If Ryujinmaru is a strict father, Takagaki is a gentle mother. But just like Ryujinmaru, it was made in May 2022, so it is still new, but somehow it has a sense of maturity.
To use a Ghibli analogy, she is Toeto from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. She is the mother who asks Yupa-sama to be godmother to her baby in the beginning. She is a woman who has the firmness to live in a harsh environment and the gentleness of a mother.
Satisfaction: ★★★★☆
