Juyondai, Nakadori Muroka Junmai

The Juyondai Junmai Muroka Nakadori Sake is the unfiltered type and but it has been pressed, giving out a clear texture in its liquid. Since it is produced from the middle yield in the pressing process, it has a very silky texture and the very pure smell of high-grade sake. This Japanese rice wine combines the sweet and enticing aroma of melon and stone fruit with a very slight hint of flowers. It is very smooth and glides easily on the throat and recommended to be served warm or at room temperature.

This famous Japanese rice wine is available in bottles of 1800 ml, an ideal add-on to any party or gathering. It is also great for gift-giving during this holiday season or in any special occasion.

Juyondai is a white whale for many sake aficionados, a hard-to-find sake brand that has developed a cult following due to its glamorous and mysterious reputation in the sake world. Despite being founded in 1615 in the northern Japanese Yamagata Prefecture, the Tagaki Shuzo brewery only really made a name for itself relatively recently when its toji (master brewer) retired and left the direction of the kura unclear. The company president’s son, Akitsuna Takagi, then took over and set out to craft a different sake experience to contrast with the light and dry sakes that were popular at the time. Under the Juyondai label (meaning 14th generation, named in honor of Tagaki’s father, who was the 14th generation to run the brewery), Takagi oversaw the creation of bold and bright sakes that quickly garnered a legendary reputation.
