A husband and wife team from a flour and noodles business bought a brewery that was on the verge of collapse in 1875. This led to Tenzan Brewing Company's creation in 1875. As of right now, the sixth-generation president, Kensuke Shichida, continually challenges the company to keep up with the current sake trend. As a result, they have always focused on maximizing the quality of their sake by using the natural resources of Ogi city. Shichida's leadership in Japan - as well as internationally - is noteworthy, and their close collaboration with the brewing community is always exciting.

By carefully brewing rice that has only been lightly polished, we maximize its smooth and lustrous flavor. This year, we are releasing a sake made with low-glutelin rice called “Shunyo” from our “70.5% Polished” series!
It boasts a fresh and elegant fruity aroma reminiscent of lychee and grapefruit, along with a light taste and an alcohol content of around 14%. The subtle sweetness greets the tongue, while refreshing acidity and a soft rice flavor spread through the mouth in a balanced manner, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
For food pairings, we recommend dishes that highlight the natural flavors of the ingredients or those with a light taste, rather than heavily seasoned dishes.
