About the brewery
Tenju Shuzo is a historic sake brewery in Yashima, Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture, founded in 1830 (Bunsei 13). The brewery uses quality rice grown locally in the Koyoshi River basin and subterranean water refined through the harsh winters. With its own Akita-style approach of low-temperature, long fermentation, it achieves a fine-textured, mellow taste. Yashima is also known as a starting point for climbing the majestic Mount Chokai, and its atmospheric streets, where history and nature remain strongly present, are part of the town's charm. Under its sixth-generation head, the brewery takes on the challenge of sake making that blends tradition with innovation, crafting the finest local sake rooted in its community. Set against the region's traditions and natural beauty, Tenju Shuzo carries a taste that is loved across time into the future.
