Tenon
“Tenon” is one of the most highly regarded brands of sake brewed by the Itakura Sake Brewery. It is characterized by its clean, fresh aroma, soft mouthfeel, and refreshing aftertaste.
In addition, the brewing of Tensho uses a yeast originally developed by the Itakura Sake Brewery. The rice koji used for Tensho’s Sanin Ginjo is called “tsukihaze three-day koji,” and rice koji that is normally made in two days is made over three days. The koji threads are firmly embedded in the koji, and the koji produces a clean, rich, and gentle flavor with a deep aftertaste. This advanced koji making process is carried out by hand for all Tokutei Meisho sake products.
Temperature control is also a major concern for Tenshiyo. During the brewing process, Itakura Sake Brewery uses water from the mountains in the winter and cooling fans in the summer to maintain a constant temperature. This ensures consistent sake quality and a consistently high standard of sake.
Tensho” is an excellent match for food. Its refreshing flavor can be paired with a wide range of dishes, from light Japanese cuisine to seafood and meat dishes. It can also be enjoyed either cold or warmed.
Finally, Itakura Shuzo’s “Tenju” is truly excellent sake, brewed with great care by craftsmen who are passionate about sake brewing. Please give it a try!
It seems like a special sake made near the venerable Izumo Taisha Shrine. The taste was mild and delicious!
Just hearing the word “Izumo Taisha” gives me a wonderful feeling. It’s always nice to enjoy a different atmosphere ♡.
