The 14th generation produced by Takagi Sake Brewery in Yamagata Prefecture is known as Japan's No. 1 sake and is known as "Phantom no Sake". The position of the fourteenth generation in the sake world is like the Lafite of wine, the Hermes of handbags, and the Rolls-Royce of cars. Food critic Mr. Cai Lan said in his blog post, "There are so many names for Japanese sake that I don't know which one is best, but if you ask me, my personal favorite is definitely the 14th generation of Yamagata San." In addition to emphasizing the use of high-quality sake rice such as Yamada Nishiki and Aishan, the 14th generation also made good use of different brewing techniques, such as Seven Vertical Twenty Rice and Secret Jade Return, which made its style more prominent. The 14th generation is usually three or four thousand yuan a bottle, and it is the only sake brand whose products are speculated. "Longquan" is the best in the fourteenth generation, the entrance has a fruity aroma, the aftertaste is strong, the wine taste is long-lasting, the output is scarce, only one has to be made a year, only 200 pieces are produced every year, the retail price is 24,000 yuan, and it is the existence of a price without a market. On the other hand, the 14th generation has launched limited editions from time to time, and has collaborated with football star Hidetoshi Nakata to launch a sake called "N", which is limited to 800 bottles worldwide. The fourteenth generation also has a relatively "people-friendly" style - "the fourteenth generation of the main pill", which is priced at about 2,800 yuan. If you want to choose a sake that best represents Japan, I am afraid it must be the 14th generation.
