Tatenokawa Nehan Black Junmai Daiginjo 2023 is an expression centered on Soube Wase, a historic rice variety known for its distinctive character. The exceptionally hot conditions of 2023 resulted in firmer grains, requiring careful attention throughout the production process to draw out and shape the desired profile. Rather than pursuing a bold or highly expressive style, Tatenokawa focuses on the quiet character and accumulated history of this traditional rice, creating an expression that reflects the rustic beauty of its origins. Its evolving character also invites appreciation of how the profile develops over time.
