DAINAGAWA TENKA KAMENOO JUNMAI DAIGINJO NAMA GENSHU 大納川天花 龜之尾純米大吟釀 720ml
Brewed by Dainagawa Shuzo (大納川酒造) in Akita Prefecture, Tenka Kame-no-O (天花 龜之尾) is a Junmai Daiginjo Nama Genshu, crafted with the historic Kame-no-O rice — one of Japan’s oldest and most revered heirloom sake varieties.
Unpasteurised and undiluted (Nama Genshu), it offers an incredibly fresh, vibrant profile with gentle effervescence. Expect refined aromas of pear, melon, and steamed rice, followed by an elegant palate of umami richness and delicate sweetness. The finish is clean, lingering, and beautifully balanced — a stunning modern interpretation of traditional Akita brewing.
