Description

Located in the small town of Iiyama Nagano, the Tanakaya brewery uses naturally sweet clear spring water from the foothills of Mount Mizuo and the Hito-gokochi sake rice (farmed within 5 kms of the brewery) to brew their award winning craft sake that carries rich traditional flavours, fruity aromas, exquisite mouthfeel and finish. Tanakawya uses the “gentei kyusui method, handmaking all of the Koji themselves making their Sake wonderfully unique.
