Food Pairings: Certainly worth drinking on it's own, this bottle would be great with a wide range of dishes. Nothing too heavy - I would avoid fatty meat or heavily smoked dishes, but lightly grilled fish, vegetables and poultry would be great, as would raw fish and vegetable preparations. The acidity gives it a little wiggle room, so definitely experiment!
Tasting Notes: Using the locally grown Dewasansan sake rice and only native Yamagata Kobo, Tatenokawa achieves an elegant sake with surprising complexity and energy. Relatively high acidity with a grapefruit peel-like aroma and flavor. Just the right amount of sweetness offers balance and leads every sip into a refreshing finish.
