Tatenokawa is located in Sakata City on the Japan Sea facing side, at the base of a mountain range that looks out onto the surrounding plains, and makes sake in the winter months. The weather in this part of Yamagata Prefecture is influenced by the sea currents and even in the heart of winter it never freezes over, providing an optimum temperature to make sake. Driven by their 100 year vision to make excellent sake with dedication where the focus is on constant quality improvement, in 2010, they established themselves as the first brewery in Yamagata Prefecture to make only Junmai Daiginjo sake.
