Tenbu

Tenbu is a sake brand brewed by Nishi Shuzo, embodying gratitude and reverence for nature's blessings, as its name meaning "a gift from heaven" suggests. The brand name expresses the philosophy that sake-making is supported by gifts from heaven such as the natural environment and agricultural crops, demonstrating a commitment to pursuing the finest quality with wholehearted sincerity and spirit. The Junmai Daiginjo is brewed with Yamada Nishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 35%, while the Junmai Ginjo and Junmai are polished to 60%, with brewing that draws out each expression's individuality. Pear-like fruit aromas harmonize with the five tastes of sweet, dry, sour, bitter, and astringent, achieving a soft mouthfeel and excellent compatibility with a wide variety of dishes. When enjoyed from a wine glass, aromas of pear, melon, and white peach unfold, and swirling reveals additional notes of yogurt, fresh cheese, and chestnut in a complex, layered aromatic composition. Leveraging fermentation management techniques and quality commitment cultivated through shochu production, the brewery achieves consistent quality sake even in the warm climate of southern Kyushu.
