“Tatenyan” is the mascot cat that wandered into the Tatenokawa Brewing Company, where they only make junmai daiginjo of the highest quality standards. Just like that energetic kitty, this sake is playful. From the initial flowery scent to the slight effervescence, Tatenokawa “Tatenyan” is bound to pick up your spirits. The juicy melon flavor has a clean, mineral finish, and can be enjoyed at any temperature.

In 1832, when the head of the Uesugi clan first visited the Shonai area he was so amazed by the quality of the water that he recommended sake production to first-generation Heishiro.

And so, in 1854, Heishiro began making sake. In the following year 1855, the visiting Daimyo of the Sounai Clan, Sakai Tadakatsu was presented with the sake and in return christened the brand "TATENOKAWA" (English Name: CASTLE BROOK).
