Maison Takeno, based in Kyotango in Kyoto prefecture, was formed by the association of four sakaguras (sake houses) closed during the Second World War, and reopened in 1947, reviving a family tradition dating back to 1864. Now run by Yoshiki Yukimachi, it grows ancient rices endemic to the region: Kamenoo, Yamada Nishiki, Iwai and Asahi. Made from the Yamada Nishiki variety, which has a 50% polish rate, this version is impressively generous and fruity. Its aromatic and flavour palette is criss-crossed with sequences whose deliciousness is equalled only by the freshness of their expression.

Color : Irisée.

Nose : fresh and subtle. A delicious blend of strawberry, apricot and rice, the aromatic palette evolves towards more lactic scents (yoghurt, coconut). When aired, the scents of chlorophyll delicately permeate an ambient atmosphere radiating fullness.

Palate : Close to rice, the range of flavours is undeniably fermentative (rice cake), mentholated and herbaceous (cut hay, alfalfa). Flavours of water lily and courgette fritters complete this wonderfully gourmand picture.

Overall : Long, fluffy. Tenderly tannic and slightly chocolaty, the wine ventures into new fermenting lands (sourdough bread, croissant). With time, aromatic herbs (chervil, wild thyme, chives) refresh a vibrant aftertaste.
