Product details
Takaisami Hiyaoroshi Junmai is a distinguished sake produced by Otani Shuzo, a brewery nestled in Tottori Prefecture, Japan. This autumnal release is crafted in the spring and undergoes maturation over the summer months, allowing its flavors to develop depth and complexity before being bottled and released in the fall. The sake is meticulously brewed using a blend of Yamada Nishiki and Tamasakae rice varieties, polished to 60%, and showcases the brewery's dedication to traditional methods and regional ingredients.
On the palate, Takaisami Hiyaoroshi Junmai offers an earthy and mildly grassy profile, complemented by subtle notes of sticky rice, salted caramel, and dried fruit. With an alcohol content of 15-16% and a sake meter value of +4.4, it presents a medium-dry richness that is both balanced and smooth. This versatile sake can be enjoyed across a range of temperatures—from chilled to warm—each revealing different facets of its character. It pairs exceptionally well with hearty autumn dishes such as grilled pacific saury, mushroom and chicken stew, or salmon and eggplant lasagna, enhancing the seasonal dining experience.
