Tatenokawa “Phoenix”
Yamagata prefecture
The product of passion
Tatenokawa and the French rock band "Phoenix" decided to collaborate out of respect and gratitude to Mr. Kuroda who spent many years working hard to promote sake in Europe. Christian Mazzalai says “Mr. Kuroda was a great master who taught all the beauties of life which include sake, and is still inspiring us every day.” A portion of sales from the sake will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society to support the progression of medical technology.

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.
