Product details
Takizawa Junmai reflects a philosophy of purity and precision rooted in its place of origin. Created with Japan’s highest-grade super soft water, known as Kokuyo Water, this expression highlights the natural character of rice through clarity and balance. The use of exceptionally soft water gently draws out depth, refinement, and definition, allowing aroma, savoriness, and a clean finish to stand out in harmony. The result is a profile that feels elegant and focused, showcasing the Takizawa name through a calm yet expressive style that emphasizes smooth texture and lifted intensity.
The aroma is soft and inviting, carrying a subtle hint of rice culture that feels delicate rather than bold. On the palate, layers of rice-derived umami unfold with impressive clarity, supported by a crisp edge that brings structure and length. Thanks to the super soft water, flavors feel amplified yet rounded, delivering both richness and sharpness in a seamless flow. This balanced character makes it an excellent companion to cheese, high-acidity dishes, harumaki, chicken karaage, ramen, and butter-cooked shellfish, where its clean profile enhances savory and creamy elements alike.
