A limited-edition release from Tatenokawa Brewery in Yamagata, Nehan Black 2020 is part of the brewery’s celebrated Nehan series, which pays homage to the ideals of peace and harmony. This sake is brewed with the finest Yamadanishiki rice, carefully polished to 18%, showcasing the pinnacle of Junmai Daiginjo craftsmanship.
With its luxurious refinement, Nehan Black delivers a vivid aroma of ripe fruits—pear, white peach, and melon—layered with subtle floral and mineral notes. On the palate, it is silky, elegant, and profoundly smooth, with a delicate sweetness and pristine finish that lingers gracefully.
Produced in very small quantities, the 2020 vintage reflects both Tatenokawa’s commitment to innovation and its deep-rooted mastery in sake brewing. Presented in a sleek black bottle, it is as visually striking as it is sensorially exquisite—ideal for collectors, gifting, or pairing with fine Japanese cuisine.
