Juyondai Gold Label

Takagi Brewery｜Yamagata

Graceful, refined and exceptionally rare, Gold Label is the crown jewel of the Juyondai collection.

Handcrafted by 15th generation master brewer, Akitsuna Takagi, with Yamada Nishiki sake rice grown in the Special Grade A fields of Yokawa, Hyogo, and pure Sakura Shimizu natural spring that follows from Yamagataʼs Dewa Mountains, this limited edition sake is the supreme representation of the beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of Takagi Brewery.

The opulent aroma is an exquisite orchestration of Fuji apple, fresh pear and honeydew melon, accented with the scent of rose petal and yuzu peel. The palate is smooth, precise and finely structured, with a luxurious layering apple, pear and melon integrated with rich umami notes imparted by the Yamada Nishiki rice. The well-balanced acidity enhances the fruit and carries the flavour to a long, graceful off-dry finish. A pleasant citrus peel-like accent lingers in the aftertaste. The overall impression is one of elegance and harmony.

Prized for its exquisite flavour and compatibility with a wealth of cuisines, Gold Label is highly coveted by gourmands and sommeliers around the world.
