This carefully brewed sake captures the essence of traditional Japanese craftsmanship while emphasizing the unique regional character of Tenzan. With its smooth, rice-forward profile and elegant dry finish, Jizake Tenzan is best enjoyed chilled or over ice, making it a versatile and refreshing choice for sake enthusiasts. Recognized for its quality, it earned a Silver Medal at the Wine and Spirits Wholesaler’s of America 68th Annual Convention & Exposition Wine Tasting Competition.
The sake offers a gentle and subtle aroma, followed by a luxurious yet refined rice flavor on the palate. Its umami-rich profile pairs beautifully with hearty and flavorful dishes. Locally, it is a popular match for Saga wagyu beef, while internationally, it complements robust flavors like grilled steaks. For other pairings, try it with salted salmon, fried chicken, sukiyaki, or tempura rice bowls.
