Tatenokawa “Phoenix”
Yamagata prefecture
The product of passion
Tatenokawa and the French rock band "Phoenix" decided to collaborate out of respect and gratitude to Mr. Kuroda who spent many years working hard to promote sake in Europe. Christian Mazzalai says “Mr. Kuroda was a great master who taught all the beauties of life which include sake, and is still inspiring us every day.” A portion of sales from the sake will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society to support the progression of medical technology.

Tatenokawa Brewing Company
Who would have thought that a sake brewery founded in 1832 would develop a cutting edge identity hundreds of years later? Tatenokawa’s ambition (achieving 1% rice polishing ratio) and global friendships (Foo Fighters and Phoenix) have gained much attention in the last two decades to go along with a deep respect for their traditional methods and unwavering quality. They even have a playful brand honoring a tabby cat that wandered into their brewery, whom they call Tatenyan. They are one of the few breweries that only produce junmai daiginjo, reaching fans globally with products that will ultimately impress you ultimately with their delicious flavor.
