Gifu prefecture
“Tenkawa” is named after Tenkawa Shrine, god of entertainment and performing arts. It has a rich, enticing aroma that makes you want to dance followed by a sharp, dry quality with an intriguing umami touch. A longer than usual fermentation time helps them achieve the emphasis on umami, to pair well with their local dishes which are rich and saucy. Might just send you into song.
Nagaragawa is made in Gifu prefecture in the Chubu region.
