Otaki is translated plainly as O (大) meaning “large”, Ta (多) meaning “many” and Ki (喜) meaning “happiness”. Otakijyo with its imposing Otaki castle is a witness to countless victorious shogun battles since the 1500s. Surrounded by deep pine forests and a graduation of mountains, the Otaki castle hosts an annual festival known as the “Oshiro Matsuri”, a lively celebration filled with parades and demonstrations by the local town folk.
17th-generation owner and sake master, Toyohiko Tajima who majored in Literature also appreciates creativity, romanticism and joy like the artist Adeline Yeo-Matsuzaki and a serendipitous encounter led to the pair creating this exquisite sake that celebrates the glorious heritage of Otakijyo.
Gentle and unobtrusive with a fruity aroma reminiscent of white wine, this sake is well-balanced, smooth, and refreshing.
Label Art: "Meadows of Happiness", by Adeline Yeo-Matsuzaki
The green/yellow color palette was inspired by the gorgeous meadows of sunny Canola Flower in Spring and yellow-hued Isumi trains that Chiba prefecture is famous for. This soothing yet invigorating art was chosen to complement the gentle and refreshing characteristics of the sake, a personal favorite of Adeline’s who is partial to white wine and champagne.
