AboutTakashima Sake Brewery
Takashima Sake Brewery was founded in 1804 in Hara, now part of Numazu in Shizuoka Prefecture. Owner-brewer Kazutaka Takashima continues its work today. Its Hakuin Masamune name honours the Zen master Hakuin and was given by Yamaoka Tesshu in 1884.
Since 2012, all of its sake has been junmai, made without added brewing alcohol. The brewery makes sake with the food of Suruga in mind, using regional rice varieties such as Homare Fuji.
Takashima Homare Fuji Special Junmai Sake
Japanese Sake
$21.99
Soft rice sweetness and a refreshing aroma lead into a medium-bodied palate with generous umami. The texture is full without feeling heavy, balanced by light crispness and a clean, refined finish. Its savoury depth makes it especially versatile at the table. Serve chilled or gently warmed with grilled fish, yakitori, mushrooms, tempura or soy-braised dishes, where the rice character and acidity can complement rather than dominate the food.
