Product details
Born from Yamagata’s esteemed Takagi Shuzo, “Nakadori Ryuu no Otoshigo Jo Morohaku” represents the pinnacle of the house’s artistry. The “Jo Morohaku” designation signifies the use of only the finest polished rice combined with time-honored craftsmanship, while the “Nakadori” process ensures that only the most refined middle portion of the liquid is collected. This edition features the exclusive “Ryuu no Otoshigo” rice variety, developed solely for Juyondai, meticulously polished to an exceptionally low ratio. Employing Takagi Shuzo’s renowned “Shichi-tare Nijukkan” method—a traditional approach passed down through generations—the creation emphasizes utmost purity, balance, and elegance.
On the palate, it reveals a dazzling array of aromas, unfolding with honeyed melon, crisp apple, and delicate pear, intertwined with a graceful touch of umami and a refined lift of acidity. The texture is full yet airy, carrying a layered richness that never overwhelms. A clean, polished clarity defines the entire experience, with the finish extending long and silky, leaving behind a refreshing afterglow that is both pure and memorable. Best enjoyed alongside refined cuisine such as kaiseki, sashimi, delicate white fish, or dishes accented with truffle, where its vibrant fruit expression and intricate layers can shine in harmony with elegant flavors.
