Staff Pick Notes

The Shichida family founded their water mill in 1861 and initially milled flour, made noodles, and polished rice for other saké breweries. They started brewing their own saké in 1875, and ceased milling operations in the 1960s to focus on saké production. Using the water from Mount Tenzan, locally grown Yamadanishiki and Saganohana rice varieties, and nearly 150 years of experience, the Tenzan Sake Brewery is crafting some of the finest saké in Saga Prefecture. Fruity, dry, and savory, Shichida's Junmai Ginjo is a beautiful and versatile saké. Aromas of peaches, honeysuckle nectar, and a delightful savory character are balanced with good acidity and a dry finish. Fruit and umami intertwine, offering a dynamic drinking experience.
