Tasting Notes: Soube Wase is an ancient rice varietal revived from 150 years ago.It offers an understated aroma of steamed rice, elegant pear and white flowers, but drinks deep yet transparent, rich but profoundly exquisite on the palate. The supple acidity and crisp minerality allow you to enjoy the beauty of this rice variety in every sip. Soube Wase is highly suitable for aging. Expect more ricey mellowness, grounding complexity and calming umami.

Profile: Tatenokawa was the first Sake Brewery in Yamagata who decided to brew exclusively Junmai Daiginjo class sake, and hope to continue to do so while providing their high quality merchandise at an affordable price. Nearly all of the rice they use to brew is locally grown Miyama Nishiki and Dewasansan.
In 2014, ANA International picked this sake for their First Class and Business Class sake.
