Juyondai Kakushin Nakadori Muroka Junmai Ginjo (十四代 角新 中取り無濾過 純米吟釀) is one of the most highly anticipated seasonal releases from the legendary Takagi Shuzo brewery in Yamagata Prefecture. Released annually during the winter brewing season, this limited-edition sake is celebrated for showcasing the brewery's signature fruit-forward elegance in its freshest form. The term Kakushin (角新) indicates a seasonal "new sake" release, while Nakadori (中取り) refers to the prized middle portion of the pressing, widely regarded as the most balanced and refined. Muroka (無濾過) signifies that the sake is left unfiltered, preserving its full flavour, aroma, and natural character.
Crafted using premium sake rice and fermented at low temperatures, this Junmai Ginjo offers vibrant freshness, silky texture, and exceptional purity. Without charcoal filtration, the sake retains greater depth and complexity while expressing delicate notes of melon, pear, white peach, and fresh Muscat grape. Its elegant sweetness, lively acidity, and refined umami create an exceptionally balanced palate, making it one of the most sought-after seasonal expressions in the Juyondai range.
Produced in very limited quantities each year, Juyondai Kakushin Nakadori Muroka Junmai Ginjo is highly prized by collectors, sake enthusiasts, and Michelin-starred Japanese restaurants around the world.
