TAKOYAMA HAPPY MOUNTAIN R 44%, 720ml
Created by Sakimoto Awamori Distillery, founded in 1902, the TAKOYAMA series brings together more than 120 years of traditional Awamori-making with a fresh, contemporary approach.
At 44% ABV, TAKOYAMA R has a bold character, with a rich aroma, deep body and smooth mouthfeel. Made with black koji, the moromi mash is slowly fermented at low temperatures for around 20 days.
It is then only lightly filtered, using a coarse-filtration method that preserves more of Awamori’s natural flavour components, bringing out rich umami, depth and a long, lingering finish.
Enjoy it neat or on the rocks to experience its full strength and complexity. A splash of water opens up the aroma, while serving it with soda water as a highball brings out a lighter, more refreshing side.
Its quality has also earned international recognition, receiving the Highest Gold Award at TWSC 2024 and a Gold Award at IWSC 2025.
Bold and richly aromatic. Lightly filtered to preserve Awamori’s natural umami and depth.
A single bottle bringing together more than 120 years of craftsmanship passed down from Shuri and a new challenge begun at the foot of Takoyama.
