Taketsuru (Taketsuru Sake Brewery)

When warmed, the rich umami of the rice blossoms beautifully. This full-bodied, powerful dry sake spreads warmth throughout the body—it is hailed as the pinnacle of Junmai sake that excels when served warm. The sake is brewed by Taketsuru Sake Brewery, founded in 1733 in Takehara City, a 'Little Kyoto' of Aki. Known as the only brewery in Hiroshima Prefecture to produce exclusively Junmai sake, it is also the birthplace of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whisky. Their goal is to create the ideal food-pairing sake. They adhere to a brewing philosophy that trusts in the flavor of the rice, adding no brewing alcohol and allowing the sake to undergo slow maturation before shipment. This is a bottle that complements cuisine and reveals its true value when warmed. The subtle changes in flavor that shift with each vintage are a unique pleasure of this sake. Please enjoy its profound depth slowly at lukewarm temperature.
