Tentaka Kuni - Hawk in the Heavens
Located in the picturesque prefecture of Tochigi (known for its many onsen, or traditional hot spring baths), Tentaka produces brew so good that only 20% of it makes it out of the prefecture! The area's natural underground springs provides Tentaka a pure, clean water source which is also triple-filtered.

With slightly yeasty notes and roasted walnut aromas, this well rounded sake has a rich mouthfeel. Dry and crisp, the flavors are dominated by mixed nuts, fresh cut green grass and other earthier flavors. Medium-bodied, the finish is lengthy and dry; a perfect food companion.Reviews & Press
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 2007 “I recently tasted through the sake portfolio of Vine Connections, better known for their prime selection of wines from Argentina , and was knocked out by the quality of sakes they import from small, family-run brewers in Japan .”
