Tenbi Tokubetsu Junmai Karaten - Tokubetsu Junmai sake from choshu shuzo Kabushikigaisha, Yamaguchi
Description

Choshu Shuzo launched the Tenbi brand in 2020 in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, rebuilding a new kura on the site of the 150-year-old Kodama Shuzo using its original materials and well water. The venture was shaped by the hire of toji Fujioka Miki, who had previously overseen production at celebrated breweries Kawatsuru (Kagawa) and Zaku (Mie), and who is one of Japan's few female sake masters with a national reputation. The Tokubetsu Junmai Karaten uses Yamada Nishiki for the koji rice and Saito no Shizuku, a Yamaguchi-bred rice variety, as the main brewing rice, polished to approximately 60% and pasteurized once. Within three years of its debut Tenbi had become a benchmark for the new wave of Yamaguchi sake, balancing bright fruit and textural depth.

Choshu Sake Brewery inherited the business of Kodama Sake Brewery, a long -established sake brewery founded in Kikugawa -cho, Shimonoseki City, and started a new sake brewing in two years. Along with the local brand of Kodama Sake Brewery, Nagato Kikukawa, the name of the liquor that Choshu Sake Brewery is newly created is called Tenbi. In connection with the sun that nurtures the rice, I came from one letter from "Biroku", which means Amaterasu, an ancient Japanese god, "Amaterasu". I think that sake brewing is "a great difference between small differences." We will carefully accumulate each small process, and, not only those who like sake, but also those who have never drunk sake, we will deliver the "full of excitement" that Tori Fujioka once tasted and convey the charm of sake. I want to increase the number of people who drink. Whether it's fun or sad, I would like to make a liquor that heals my heart that always snuggles up.
