Tasting Notes: Brewed in the fashion of Sur Lie wines, and aged together with the lees. This gives Nagaragawa Tenkawa a huge amount of depth, body and flavor. Has excellent floral aromatics, an edge underneath the umami, and a mild aftertaste that is ultimately satisfying. Made with locally grown Hidahomare rice.

Brewery: Komachi Shuzo - Nagaragawa Sake Brewing Co. LTD.

Profile: Nagaragawa is the river that has been a central fishing spot for 1300 years - this water ultimately finds its way into Komachi Shuzo's underground well water. They are the proud winners of several competitions, and are often featured on magazines due to their high quality sake and skill level in brewing.
Their sake is also famously known as "Symphony Sake" due to the fact that they play music while the sake is fermenting in the tanks - some say this has an effect on the final product.
