Graceful, refined and exceptionally rare, Gold Label is the crown jewel of the Juyondai collection.
Handcrafted by 15th generation master brewer, Tatsugoro 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 Yamagata’s Dewa Mountains, this limited edition sake is the supreme representation of the beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of Takagi Sake Brewery.
The opulent aroma is an exquisite orchestration of ripe Fuji apple, La France pear, Shine muscat grapes, and honeydew melon, accented with the scent of white flowers, tarragon and yuzu peel. The palate is smooth, precise and finely structured, with a luxurious layering of green orchard fruits 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. An yuzu-peel-like zestiness tantilises the palate, and lingers pleasantly in the after taste. 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.
