First Junmai Daiginjo-only brewery in the Ginjo Kingdom of Yamagata.

JOURYU Limited Quantity

TATENOKAWA was one of the first to engage in contract cultivation of sake rice “Miyamanishiki” in Yamagata Prefecture, and has been using it for many years in sake brewing. This sake was brewed with 40% polished Miyamanishiki, which was is grown by local contracted farmers through "special cultivation" with reduced pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Miyamanishiki, is generally considered to be hard rice, is said to have a limited range of taste because the rice does not dissolve easily. This time, we took on a new challenge and leveraging our accumulated skills and experience to focus on bring out the characteristics of Miyamanishiki, resulting in a beautiful taste that has both 'cleanness' and ' deep in flavour'. It features an elegant and gentle scent of citrus, and the clean, sharp taste and high-quality acidity are combined and goes well the meals.
