- Using the signature sake rice from Yamagata

• This rice has been used by Tatenokawa (楯の川) for the longest time."Dewa Sansan" rice was created by contract farming with local farmers and in-house rice milling. 
• The rice is beautifully scraped into "50% polished rice" in which the sake retains the deliciousness and characteristics of Dewa rice.
• In order to maximize the taste and characteristics of the sake rice, the brand has particularly not included the normal yeast which are common in existing products for manufacturing Junmai Daiginjo, the highest grade of sake. It is brewed with a unique liquor quality design, such as using Kyokai No. 6 yeast, which produces a very solid liquor quality.

- Delicate hand brewing management in a small capacity tank of 600 kg

• The brewing of the sake is done in a highly small capacity tank of 600kg, which is the same standards as high-class sakes. It is said to be the best capacity for hand brewing sakes.
• Such a small capacity tank for brewing requires an extreme high level of skills from the craftsmen. With experience of manufacturing sake for over a century, Tatenokawa has delicate brewing design and careful management to control the performance of yeast, which the sake will become more rich in texture.
