Takakiya Tokubetsu Junmaisyu

Takakiya Tokubetsu Junmai is the benchmark pure-rice expression in the Takakiya lineup, produced by Hamashima Shuzo's fully hand-crafted operation in Bungo-Ono, Oita. The tokubetsu designation signals a step above the standard junmai tier, achieved through more rigorous polishing or a specific brewing approach that the brewery's fifth-generation owner oversees directly. Estate-grown rice and clean Bungo mountain water give the sake a grounded, satisfying umami character suited to food pairing.
