About
Located at the headwaters of the Tone River in the northernmost part of Gunma Prefecture, Mount Tanigawa (Tanigawadake), at 1977 m, is one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains (Nihon Hyakumeizan). Its changing faces through the seasons are loved by many mountaineers and local residents. This sake was brewed to express the majestic natural beauty of Mount Tanigawa with honesty, aiming for a sake you can enjoy every day without ever tiring of it. Its crisp dryness is tempered by the gentle sweetness of the brewing water. Brewed to an exceptionally dry style, this is the "Tobikara" that dry sake lovers will find irresistible. The clean, crisp dryness combines with the soft sweetness of the brewing water to create a distinctive dry character that suits warmed sake (kan) and hire-zake (sake warmed with grilled blowfish fin). It also pairs well with rich dishes and dishes cooked with oil, and is popular as a sake for drinking with meals.
