What is TENBU?

Respect for the laws of nature, andgratitude for the commitment cultivated by our predecessors.

Sake is a gift from above, born from therichness of the earth and the mysteries of life.
The key to sake brewing is to obey the laws of nature without any unnecessarytampering.
Skills and commitment honed by our predecessors over time draw out the power ofnature and form an indispensable foundation for brewing excellent sake.
As a group of craftspeople who respect nature and are perpetually thankful tothose who came before us, we take great care in our work.
Beyond holding fast to the natural, lies the goal of TENBU’s inherentdeliciousness.

TENBU Junmai Ginjo

“Creating a sake that can be paired with food”
By drawing out the natural umami of rice, integrated with each of the otherelements of our sense of taste (sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness) toresult in a soft, harmonious, and seamless flavor that can be enjoyed withmeals.

From the subtle aroma, floral impressionsof peony, with hints of cotton candy and banana drifting together with a senseof unity.
Gentle sweetness, soft acidity, and a delicate grip on richness coming togetherin a tranquil balance, giving the flavor a beautiful sheen and leading to aclear, polished finish.

Gorgeous ginjo aromas of pear, melon, andwhite peach overflow from the glass.
Swirling the glass to aerate it like a wine brings out notes of yogurt, freshcheese, raw chestnuts, and chestnut flowers, allowing you to enjoy the harmonyof multiple layers of fragrance.
On the palate, a mellow attack and an off-dry impression. A creamy,umami-filled midpalate, with the same fruit flavors from the nose spreadingacross the tongue.
The aftertaste has excellent penetration, and in contract to the richness ofthe midpalate, ends with a delicate and clear finish.
The umami-filled creamy and rich structure of the midpalate creates even moreharmony when paired with food.
It can be enjoyed with a wide variety of cuisines, but to enjoy the straightflavor of the ingredients, try pairing with sashimi, dashi-based Japanesecuisine, butter- or cream-based Western dishes, fatty Kurobuta porkshabu-shabu, or savory fried dishes like tempura.
