The aroma is rich and sweet, releasing vivid fruit-driven notes. On the palate, it opens with a smooth and delicate texture, quickly blossoming into juicy, water-like sweetness and umami. Clear, fruit-forward acidity adds a bright accent to the overall profile, creating an impression reminiscent of fully ripened mandarin oranges. The finish lingers gently, rich and long-lasting, delivering a deeply satisfying experience.
From Minamiuonuma in Niigata Prefecture—one of Japan’s foremost rice-producing regions—comes the renowned sake “Takachiyo,” which presents the seasonal limited release “sunRise Hyōten Chōzō Muroka Nama Genshu.” Inspired by mandarin oranges, it expresses a burst of fresh, juice-like flavors. This namagenshu, brewed to Junmai Ginjo specifications, is rested at ice temperature to fully accumulate plump, juicy umami. This winter, why not replace “mandarins at the kotatsu” with “Takachiyo at the kotatsu”?
