A barbecue’s best friend

High acid, umami-rich sake achieved through heavy application of koji-kin and extended maturation period of 18 months. A go-to sake for barbeque, this rustic, high acid sake is a great representation of traditional Junmai style that you would find in Izakayas throughout Japan. The brewery name, Tentaka, translates to “hawk in the heavens,” a prosperous Japanese symbol that is thought to bring good fortune to the brewery.
