🎸🍶 There’s actually a pretty incredible story behind this bottle…
Foo Fighters didn’t just slap their name on a sake.
To celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary and the release of their 10th album, Medicine at Midnight, Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters teamed up with TATENOKAWA, a Japanese brewery in Yamagata, to create their own Junmai Daiginjo sake. Dave Grohl is a known sake lover, so the collaboration was designed around the band’s own tastes.
And here’s the coolest part…
They actually played Foo Fighters music to the sake while it was fermenting. 🎶🍶
The sake was named HANSHO, inspired by Medicine at Midnight, and two different expressions were created to represent different sides of the band’s music.
The bottle we’re drinking is HANSHO Blue, inspired by the more melodic/pop side of Foo Fighters. It’s aromatic, smooth and lightly sweet — and after tasting it, we discovered an AMAZING pairing:
🐟 Tuna from Bearcats Smoke House
The richness of the tuna with the clean, slightly fruity sake is seriously fantastic.
And because we like making things easy… you can pick up the Foo Fighters sake AND the tuna from Bearcats right here at The Wine Cellar.
Rock & roll, Japanese sake and fresh tuna.
Not a bad way to spend a night. 🤘🍶🐟
