The aroma is soft and sweet, reminiscent of lychee, with a full and rich fruity bouquet. The presence of fine lees gives the sake a silky texture, while gentle effervescence enhances the experience. Upon entry, a mellow sweetness gradually unfolds, and together with the fruity notes, it feels like sipping a glass of sparkling fruit soda. Despite its rich mouthfeel, the refreshing acidity keeps it light and pleasant. The soft finish gently tapers off, making it irresistibly drinkable — one sip naturally leads to another.
This sake is a highlight from Takachiyo Sake Brewery’s popular low-alcohol series “Shin Takachiyo” — specifically, the “L-TYPE Au Enigmatic Smile.”
The “Shin Takachiyo” series is themed as “Japanese sake designed for daytime enjoyment.” It uses Ipponjime rice grown in Uonuma, Niigata Prefecture, polished to 65% using a flat rice polishing method. Bottled as a muroka nama genshu with fine lees (origarami), it is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and undiluted. With only 12% alcohol, it falls into the lighter category of sake, offering a smooth and easy-drinking experience.
This is a sake that perfectly blends lightness with the silky mouthfeel characteristic of origarami, making it extremely approachable and enjoyable. We highly recommend giving it a try!
