Tatenokawa 18 Junmai Daiginjo Sake 720ml

Crafted by the innovative Tatenokawa brewery in Yamagata Prefecture, Tatenokawa 18 represents an extreme expression of sake precision. Polished down to an extraordinary 18% remaining grain size—a process requiring over 70 hours of careful milling—only the prized middle pressing (nakadori) is captured for this release. It presents exquisite aromatics of white peach, honeysuckle, lychee, and pear. Silky, weightless, and incomparably elegant on the palate, it unfolds with soft fruit sweetness, delicate rice umami, and a pristine, effortless finish.

Food Pairing: Serve well-chilled; pairs exceptionally with refined dishes such as uni, toro sashimi, fresh oysters, scallop carpaccio, or delicate kaiseki courses.
