Tatenokawa “Soube Wase” 2022

It may be a limited-stock sake from 2022, but this junmai daiginjo is timeless. Extraordinary effort went into reviving, growing and brewing with the notoriously difficult-to-work-with Soube Wase rice, a strain that hadn’t been used for 150 years. Tatenokawa Brewing Company is the only one that brews with it, crafting it into an aged sake with layered complexity and umami from the rice. “Soube Wase” 2022 is literally one of a kind.
