À propos

Takagi Shuzo in Murayama produces the mythical Juyondai (Fourteenth Generation), arguably Japan's most coveted and difficult-to-obtain sake. Current president Takagi Akitsuna, the 15th generation, transformed this small family brewery into a cult phenomenon. Juyondai's layered complexity, impeccable balance, and extreme scarcity command astronomical secondary market prices.
