Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of lemon modestly. When you drop it in your mouth, the fresh sharpness spreads and Umami remains in your mouth. The flavor of lemon also lasts. The taste is plain, but it is pure and clear. This Japanese Sake is not gorgeous, but you are not sated with drinking it. It is easy to be familiar with it. I recommend you should enjoy it with dish.

Seafood, especially white fish and oyster, will part with this Japanese Sake. The flavor of lemon will bring out the flavor of seafoods.

Carpaccio will be a good partner

The tips of this Ippon

Taka is the name of their lineup. Taka was born in 2002. In that days, Japanese Sake became to be unpopular in Japan. Japanese people started to enjoy beer or wine, instead of Japanese Sake. The 5th owner of this brewery tried to change the situation. He learned the way of wine brewing and found a potential in Junmai-Shu. He made an effort and Taka was born. This Japanese Sake was developed to be enjoyed with dish. Yamaguchi Prefecture, where this brewery is located, is famous for pufferfish. Pufferfish has a dangerous poison, but is known for the good taste. You can enjoy pufferfish if you cook in a proper method. It is prohibited that amateurs cook it. It needs a professional license. This Japanese Sake must be a good partner with the Sashimi of pufferfish.
