This sake is brewed using Yamada Nishiki rice from Hyogo Prefecture, milled to 35%, and fermented with Association Yeast No. 1801. Fermented slowly at low temperatures, it boasts a beautifully balanced flavor profile with no single element overpowering the others—sweetness, acidity, spiciness, bitterness, or astringency. Its elegant and refined ginjo aroma truly reflects the prestige of a gold medal-winning sake.

The All Japan New Sake Appraisal Competition has a long history dating back to 1911 (Meiji 44). Organized by the National Research Institute of Brewing, an independent administrative agency, it is the most prestigious competition aimed at improving the quality of sake. In 2025 (Reiwa 6 brewing year), we bottled the gold medal-winning sake, brewed by our head brewery's master brewer, Tadashi Kikuchi, in its undiluted form. Made with Yamada Nishiki rice, the "king of sake rice," polished to 35%, and brewed with Kyokai 1801, one of Master Brewer Kikuchi's specialties, this sake fully utilizes the highly aromatic properties of this yeast, resulting in a rich and robust flavor that exudes a classic elegance. This marks Takashimizu's 25th consecutive award win.
