Tanzawasan

Tanzawasan is the legendary flagship brand of Kawanishiya Shuzoten and a monument to aged Junmai sake. Primarily using pristine meltwater from the Tanzawa Mountain range and local 'Wakamizu' rice nurtured through 30 years of partnership with local farmers, it purely expresses the philosophy: 'Sake enhances the food, and food enhances the sake.' Characterized by a mellow umami achieved through over a year of low-temperature aging and a supple acidity, its potential as 'kan-sake' (warmed sake) is overwhelming. Having won consecutive awards at major tasting competitions, it enjoys absolute trust from professional sommeliers and gourmets as the ultimate food-pairing sake.
