It is a liqueur, not sake. It seems to be made by soaking coffee beans in pure sake and aging them. The message "For those of you who are tired of the ordinary" attracts me. The aroma is coffee itself. It has a coffee-like burnt, bitter and sweet taste, and matches with ice cream for dessert (4th photo).

This year, too, we had the rare 2020BY Urakasumi, of which there are only 150 bottles in Japan and 6 bottles in the Tokai region. Although it is alky, there is no sense of alcohol, and while clear, it is not too light, perhaps due to the aging process, and the flavor is exquisite with just the right amount of umami.

The owner offered us a small portion of Māka no Shizuku-shu (not for sale), which we could not drink because it was sold out the last time we visited. The clarity and elegance of the 30% polished sake is as expected.

Gorgeous aroma. It is fire-roasted but still petit fresh. The soft sweetness and deliciousness of the flavor is truly Jikin. You can also feel the deep juiciness of Aizan.

First Asahitaka as an aperitif. Clear and juicy. The depth of flavor that one would not expect from an aperitif is indeed the Takagi Sake Brewery.

This is my first time to try Sora after all these years. Sora is usually left to mature, so the label for the unpasteurized sake is purposely hard to read. The 40% polished sake has a soft sweet flavor. While it has the freshness of nama-shu, it is not overly flashy, including the taste, and can be enjoyed by itself or during a meal. Incidentally, the soft water used on this day was Houraizumi's brewing water (the third photo).

The owner served us a bottle of Ichinenfudo shizuku-shu, a sake that is not sold at liquor stores. 30% polished sake is clear, elegant, and has a soft, almost too-soft flavor. We could not drink the Maka no Shizuku Sake (photos 3 and 4) because it was sold out.

Please excuse my comment. I like Houraisen and was curious about your post here, and no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find it, so I went to the brewery to check. (I'm a local). I GET both of them. Thanks for the info. The price is bad.

Thank you for your comment, Tesshi 😅🙇‍♂️ I see you got this not-for-sale item 😆I can feel your enthusiasm for Houraisen 😅. Will you drink it at home? I hope you enjoy it 🍶✨.

I also confirmed when both Ichinenfudo shizuku-shu and Māka shizuku-shu will be available. I also heard that there is also a Gin. I couldn't buy it because it was sold out😅. Basically, I drink at home. Thank you very much.

Winner of the National New Sake Competition Gold Medal. The taste is elegant and clean, as is typical of an aluzoe daiginjo. It has a subtle sweet flavor, but the sweetness is subdued, giving the impression that it is a sake for use during meals.

After all this time, I'm having my first LIBROM as an aperitif. It's a bit bitter with a crisp, grapefruit-like acidity.
