Zenith is the English name for Tatenokawa’s newest sake, a Junmai Daiginjo, made with Dewasansan rice, polished all the way down to 1%. In the history of sake, no brewery has ever achieved a rice polishing of 1% before so Zenith is a world first. Dewasansan is a local sake rice from Yamagata Prefecture which is steadily being recognised, in the sake-making community, as a rice of excellent quality – possibly even to challenge the likes of the famous Yamadanishiki!
