The aroma is gorgeous and fruit-forward. On the palate, light effervescence creates a refreshing mouthfeel, while juicy, fruit-laden flavors unfold with rich, sweet layers. The finish is clean and crisp with a gentle hint of bitterness, leaving a smooth, easy-drinking impression overall.
From the renowned sake “Takachiyo,” brewed in Minami-Uonuma, Niigata—one of Japan’s premier rice-growing regions—comes this year-end and New Year limited release, NEW YEAR’S BOTTLE Muroka Nama Genshu. The design changes every year, bringing a sense of surprise and anticipation akin to a lucky bag. This year, the cat that was not chosen as the zodiac animal dons festive New Year attire, resulting in a playful and humorous label that leaves a strong impression. A fruit-driven limited sake that adds a splash of color to the turn of the year—available only for this moment and not to be missed.
