More tasting info

Welcome to BAR Yoko! While Tatenokawa is known for its top-shelf junmai daiginjo, the prestigious brewery likes to have fun. Each sip of their fruit sake is a new encounter with a mysterious bar owner, Yoko. Yoko needed a pick-me-up, so she made a luxurious plum wine with the best Nanko ume fruit from Wakayama. It’s infused with ume and mixed with ume paste, giving it texture, sweetness and acidity.

The story

Founded in 1832, this Yamagata prefecture brewery devoted itself entirely to junmai daiginjo in 2010. Tatenokawa Brewing Company famously polished rice to a world-first 1% for its Komyo bottling and partners with farmers reviving heirloom Shonai grains.
