Kyu-bi

"Kyu-bi" is a modern, small-batch series by Tentaka Shuzo, representing their challenge towards the next generation of sake. Named after the local legend of the "Nine-Tailed Fox" in Ohtawara, this brand stands apart from the traditional "Tentaka," symbolizing free and creative brewing unconstrained by existing concepts.
Each season, they combine different yeasts, brewing methods, and rice varieties to express the multi-layered charm of sake, ranging from sweet to ultra-dry, and even syrupy sweet styles like noble rot wine. With labels and concepts changing each time, it is a brand that provides surprise and discovery, serving as a crystallization of the brewer's intellectual curiosity.
This creative range, emerging from a venerable brewery and transcending the boundaries of traditional sake, is supported by the passion of young brewers seeking new forms of local sake. It is a mysterious and attractive brand where a new story unfolds with every sip.
