Horse plowing is the process of cultivating the fields together with horses, drawing out the inherent power of the soil. Tanjinba is a sake made from Gohyakumangoku sake rice, which is cultivated without pesticides and raised by the trinity of fields, people, and horses. Just as people offered votive plaques to shrines in hopes of a good harvest, one for white horses praying for sunshine and one for black horses praying for rain, Tanjinba comes in two different types, black and white. The white is a pure rice sake made by Tsunan Brewery, a local sake brewery in Tsunan Town, where the fields are located, using their polishing techniques to express a delicate yet powerful flavor. The black is a pure rice sake made using the kimoto method and produced by Shotoku Brewery, a sake brewery in Fushimi, Kyoto, which was founded in 1645. Enjoy the taste of this perfect blend of ingredients grown with the bounty of the land, game, local cuisine, and more.
