PAIRINGCOMING SOON
Tenbi began brewing in Reiwa 2 (2020) and has made a remarkable rise since. From May to August this year it released a 'different sake rice each month' series. Here we introduce the bottle released in August, using Yamadanishiki grown in Choshu, Yamaguchi — 'the king of sake rice,' cultivated right in Tenbi's own backyard. Sweetness and umami, drawn out by a peach-like, showy aroma and an astringency, put the dignity of a king on full display.
