Juyondai Sake | 2024 Latest Overview, Grade Classification, Prices, and New Offers!

Hailed as the king of sake, Juyondai commands a hefty price due to its extremely limited availability, earning it the reputation of a 'phantom sake' on the international stage. Juyondai, the crown jewel of Japanese sake, is crafted with top-tier rice, employing a unique brewing technique. This is not mass-produced, but a legendary-class sake brewed in limited quantities, presenting an unparalleled choice for either solo enjoyment or meal pairing - an unforgettable experience with just one try!

Beyond its international acclaim, Juyondai is considered a legendary sake within Japan too! It has held the top spot on the popular Japanese sake review site SAKETIME for many years, and has been honored in the largest sake appraisal event in Japan, the 'National New Sake Appraisal', for 17 consecutive years! It's clear that Juyondai is a beloved choice among both the general populace and industry elites. The exclusivity is further amplified as Takagi Shuzo, the brewery behind Juyondai, only entrusts reputable distributors and Izakayas for its sales, making Juyondai a hard-to-come-by treasure in the market!

As a pinnacle of Japanese sake, Juyondai deviates from the traditional ‘light and dry’ style of sake, focusing instead on creating a 'richly aromatic' beverage! The key to enjoying Juyondai is to bring out its fruitiness. If the sake is too cold, the aroma weakens, and the acidity and bitterness become prominent, so it's recommended to start savoring it at a temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius.

Juyondai is a top-notch choice whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a meal! Depending on the variant, the food pairing options are quite extensive. It goes perfectly with seafood, sashimi, and sushi. For some of the bolder flavors, pairing with Cantonese stir-fries, skewers, or other cooked dishes is equally delightful!

When it comes to glassware, it's advisable to use sake cups made of glass or tin, or even a white wine glass is a great choice.

For unopened bottles of Juyondai Sake, it's crucial to avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and high temperatures. Most Juyondai Sake variants are "Nama-zume" or "Nama" (unpasteurized or only once pasteurized), and it's recommended to store them at a low temperature of 0-4 degrees Celsius.

Once opened, the sake begins to oxidize as it comes into contact with air, and the aroma starts to evaporate. If you're unable to enjoy the entire bottle at once, we strongly advise storing it in a refrigerator at 0-4 degrees Celsius and consuming it within a week.
