Tatenokawa - Phoenix Sake Junmai Daiginjo
Tatenokawa is a sake brewery that has been around for 180 years! They focus on quality and have passed the sake recipes down through the generations. In more recent times the current sake master brewer (the Toji) reduced the production to one type of sake - the premier cru style that is made to the highest quality. This changed the breweries fortunes greatly and made a gain in it's reputation. They are now ambitious to make the best sake in the world.
The Tatenokawa Phoenix is a Junmai Daiginjo grade sake made in collaboration with French rock band, Phoenix! It has plenty of umami flavours, along with typically tropical notes and and a refreshing acidity. This is a commemorative sake made in the memory of Japanese-born restaurateur Toshiro Kuroda.
