Tengumai Junmai Sake: Earthy, Rich & Traditionally Crafted

Tengumai Junmai Sake is an authentic and robust sake brewed by Shata Shuzo in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. Crafted using the labor-intensive yamahai method, this junmai sake emphasizes natural fermentation techniques and extended aging to produce deep umami flavors and a well-structured body. Made with Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 60%, Tengumai delivers a sake experience rooted in heritage and rich in character.

On the nose, Tengumai Junmai reveals inviting aromas of steamed rice, mushroom, dried plum, and toasted nuts, complemented by hints of mineral and earthy spice. The palate is full and savory, with flavors of raisin, roasted grain, and creamy nutty tones balanced by a clean acidity and subtle umami. The finish is long and dry, with lingering earthy notes and a slight saline edge that enhances its depth.

Brewed without added alcohol and aged for over a year in temperature-controlled tanks, Tengumai Junmai reflects Shata Shuzo’s commitment to traditional techniques. The yamahai method, known for promoting wild yeast development and complex fermentation, contributes to the sake’s layered flavor and rustic elegance.

Tengumai Junmai pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes such as grilled fish, roasted meats, miso-based soups, and mushrooms. It can be enjoyed chilled, at room temperature, or gently warmed to bring out its full umami and aromatic complexity.
