Foo Fighters × TATENOKAWA “Hansho” Blue
Yamagata Prefecture
Pop the midnight medicine
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.

Tatenokawa Brewing Company
This prestigious brewery was founded in 1832, but was given the name Tatenokawa (in English, Castle Brook) by the daimyo Sakai Tadakatsu in 1855. As one of the few breweries dedicated to solely producing junmai daiginjo sake, their current vision is to create sake for modern times by pushing the envelope in rice polishing and forging international relationships. In pursuing these goals, Tatenokawa has achieved a 1% RPR, and has collaborated with renowned musical artists such as Foo Fighters and Phoenix. The brewery continues to impress on the global stage, consistently earning top awards in sake competitions around the world.
