Sake lover Dave Grohl has teamed up with maker Tatenokawa who exclusively makes premium junmai daiginjo. To commemorate Foo Fighters’ 10th album Medicine at Midnight, “Hansho” (midnight) was brewed listening to their music while it fermented at a very low temperature in their brewery built in 1832. Blue expresses the band’s pop side by the expressive aroma and a delicate, fresh sweetness in the flavor, using local Dewasansan sake rice.
Foo Fighters×TATENOKAWA is brewed in Yamagata Prefecture in the Tohoku region.

Yamagata Prefecture
Tatenokawa represents lightness and transparency of a clean river. The 180 years of history never interfere with their continuous challenge to achieve the highest quality. It was the first sake brewery in Yamagata that decided to brew exclusively “Junmai Daiginjo” class sake and they continue to do so while providing their high quality sake at affordable prices. Nearly all the rice they use for production is locally grown “Miyamanishiki” and “Dewasansan.” In 2014, ANA International picked this sake for their First Class and Business Class sake.
