Tenju

Tenju(天寿) is a sake brand crafted by TENJU SHUZO CO., LTD. in Akita, Japan. Explore their full lineup of 10 sakes on OneSip.

Tenju Shuzo was founded in 1830 by Ohi Eikichi at the foot of Mount Chokai in Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture, and the brand name means a life lived fully to one hundred years. The brewery established the Tenju Sake Rice Research Association in 1983, one of the first in Japan to organize farmer-brewer collaboration for developing premium sake rice, and has continued that partnership with local growers for over forty years. Soft underground water from Mount Chokai and cold, low-temperature fermentation in the harsh Akita winters are the foundation of Tenju's rounded, fine-textured style.
