Tatenokawa Soube Wase Junmai Daiginjo is a distinctive expression made from Soube Wase, a native rice variety from Japan’s Shonai region that remained unchanged for approximately 150 years. Tatenokawa spent more than three years reviving this historic rice, followed by another three years of refinement before bringing Soube Wase to life. Used exclusively by Tatenokawa, this locally rooted rice gives the expression a strong sense of place and a character centered on the natural qualities of the grain. Its thoughtful craftsmanship and heritage make it a standout choice for those seeking a distinctive Japanese rice expression with depth and versatility.
