14th Kado Shinhonmaru

For connoisseurs seeking a special sake to pair with high-end sushi, we recommend the freshly brewed, special junmai nama-zake, "Juyondai Kakushin Honmaru." This sake, crafted with the skill and tradition of Takagi Brewery, which spans over 400 years, and made from rice nurtured by Yamagata's pristine water and rich nature, is released only once a year in December. Its rarity and delicate flavor make it an even more special pairing with high-end sushi.

Juyondai Kakushin Honmaru is characterized by its silky smooth texture and elegant sweetness. The rich aroma and flavor of the rice gracefully spread in your mouth, enhancing the freshness and quality of the sushi. Furthermore, the firm acidity creates a beautiful balance of flavors between the sake and the sushi.

Especially with fatty tuna (toro) or aged sushi, the rich rice flavor and umami of this sake further deepen the taste of the ingredients and highlight the delicate flavors of each piece of sushi. The fresh taste unique to nama-zake, combined with the freshness of the seafood in the sushi, creates an exquisite harmony in your mouth.
