This is "Asahitaka", a limited edition Yamagata sake from Takagi Shuzo, well known for its "Jyushiyo" brand.
It is almost impossible to buy Jyushiyo, but if you are lucky, you can buy Asahitaka at a supermarket in Yamagata.
My parents bought this for me at a supermarket in Yamagata.
I can't compare the taste with Jyushiyo because I have never had it before, but it is delicious.
It is a brewed sake, but the sweetness and umami are exquisite.
It is hard to believe that this sake is priced in the 2,000 yen range.
Alcohol content: 15%.
Rice polishing ratio: 55
