The team at Tatenokawa was the first to polish the rice to an astonishing 18%. This is a world-class sake with marvelous aromatics and impressive flavors. The silky structure plays out sweetly on your tongue, especially when chilled, although we suggest you experiment with temperature to find what suits you best. A rare gem and the height of luxury, this is a one-of-a-kind must-try.
