Yamagata prefecture
This sake is locally produced using mountain dew water collected from a deep well and Dewa no Sato rice. Brewed only in winter, this sake is light and dry like powder snow. With an aroma of white peach and a rose-like nuance, which carries into the flavor of delicate acidity and soft umami. There is even a touch of minerality that melts into a creamy final note.
Takeno Tsuyu is made in Yamagata prefecture in the Tohoku region.

Takeno Tsuyu Brewing Company
Located near one of the three famous mountains of Yamagata, Mt. Haguro, Takeno Tsuyu Brewing Company was established in 1858. They chose the area for its wealth of clear water and even excavated a new well in 2002 with water so pure it was certified to be pure drinking water (a hard task to accomplish). The brewery itself is surrounded by a bamboo grove, which gave the brewery its name, “Takeno Tsuyu” meaning “bamboo dew.” They use their own local yeast instead of the industry standard, which means their sake has its own special flare born from the land.
