PHOENIX 8 Limited Edition Limited Quantity

A Collaboration of Music and Sake / The Refined Beauty Created by Yamada Nishiki with a Polishing Ratio of 18%

Since the launch of our first collaborative sake "Rainbow" in 2017, Tatenokawa and Phoenix have engaged in 3 joint ventures. To commemorate Phoenix's Japan tour in March 2023, we are releasing a new collaborative product that vividly reflects the world of their latest album "ALPHA ZULU", released in November 2022.

The sake chosen for this collaboration is a Junmai Daiginjo, made from the king of sake rice - Yamada Nishiki from Hyogo prefecture, meticulously polished down to 18%. Its refined taste is the result of the band members' relentless quest for perfection, involving numerous tastings. Furthermore, the packaging design is a motif of the music video "Winter Solstice", included in the album "ALPHA ZULU", offering a product that intensely mirrors Phoenix's unique worldview.

Tasting Comments from Christian

This sake is the perfect counterpoint to the first sake we did with Tatenokawa (rainbow Phoenix). The first sake was the key to enter to the beautiful world of Sake mastered by Tatenokawa. This new sake goes deeper and higher into the clouds beyond the mountains.18% polished less is more - the beauty of minimalism.

You can feel the refined elegance from Yamada Nishiki, meticulously polished to 18%. This sake stands straight on its own but you can try it with any food you want- experiment! The song we'd love you to savour alongside this sake is "Winter Solstice," which also served as the motif for the label design.
