Brewery Location: Ishikawa
Food Pairings: Mushrooms, Buri-Daikon, Soft Cheeses, Miso Based Dishes, Japanese Hot Pot
Bio and Tasting Notes: The seemingly effortless harmony so characteristic of Yamahai sake is ever present in Tengumai's masterful brew. Gorgeous pale straw pour, with a funky mushroom nose to match the acidic, dry and earthy first impression. While savoring the buttery mouthfeel, one may even notice hints of walnut bread and honeyed mead, so keep your eyes peeled. When chilled, the more floral notes come into play. An absolute pleasure to drink at any and all temperatures.
