Sake Tatenokawa Tatenyan Junmai Daiginjo

Tatenyan, the official mascot of TATENOKAWA, INC.

Is not a fictional character but the CEO’s real cat, born on February 22, 2009. One day she appeared out of nowhere at the brewery – as if guided by destiny – and since then has lived with the founder, spending her days between peaceful naps and moments of affection.

This sake is a special tribute: not only for sake enthusiasts, but also for cat lovers who wish to discover Japanese tradition with a smile. On the palate, it reveals a subtle fragrance and refined acidity, merging into a soft, velvety finish – a sip that embodies the true “heart of Tatenyan.”

With this playful label, Tatenokawa wanted to celebrate the quiet yet constant presence of its beloved cat, who has long become part of the cellar and its spirit. A sake that can be described in just one word: Playful. Floral notes emerge on the nose, a gentle effervescence delights the palate, while the finish remains crystal-clear and mineral, with a refreshing hint of melon that invites another sip.

A sake that carries lightness, warmth, and poetry – inspired by its four-legged muse.
