About
Tentaka Sake Brewery is a small sake brewery in the countryside, surrounded by rice fields. Located in a rural area blessed with abundant crops, it was natural for a local sake brewer to want to "make sake with local rice." This is how they began working with local farmers to make organic sake.
Our goal was to create safer, more reliable sake, but as we deepened our thoughts about organics, our feelings for the local community grew stronger. We felt that starting with organic sake brewing and expanding organic farming would not only reduce the burden on the environment, but would also broaden the possibilities for organic produce and organic food, leading to the vitality and revitalization of the local community. Tentaka Brewery hopes to play a central role in creating a sustainable business system and increasing the value of the entire region. "Organic" is just one way of doing things, but we will continue to focus our efforts on creating a business cycle that brings joy to everyone.

bottle at home ... clear viscous ... soft light raw alcohol ... soft mellow rice nose... light rough alcohol front ... almost spicy ... but mostly just quite a lot of alcohol... almost raki (so maybe hints of aniseed in there)

Second Sake of the night at the Indra - Cider, Sake and Mead tasting 8/31/07. Pour is nearly clear water. Perhaps a twinge of yellow, but really hard to distinguish from water. Aroma of powerful rice alcohol much more forward than previous Sake Aroma I have experienced. Some banana fruitiness in the flavor, though mostly over powered by the alcohol.

Nice rice wine, butter, soy sauce and alcohol aroma. Light yellow color. Initially very waterlike then rice and soy flavors gradually come out and finishes with a mild alcohol burn finish. A fairly subtle and clean tasting sake - well balanced with no flavor coming out too strong.
