PAIRINGCOMING SOON
"Tenbi," which began brewing in 2020 and has been advancing remarkably, is releasing a "different-rice-variety series" every month from May through August this year. Here's the bottle released in June, made with Senbonnishiki from Hiroshima. Senbonnishiki is a sake rice developed by Hiroshima Prefecture aiming to topple Yamadanishiki, with Yamadanishiki as its paternal parent. A rich aroma spreads, like boiled corn with butter poured over it. A plant-derived sweetness and youthful umami are simply irresistible.
