Product details
Tenju Chokaisan “Mt. Chokai” is an elegant Japanese rice creation inspired by the pristine natural environment surrounding Mount Chōkai in Akita Prefecture. Produced by Tenju, a respected house known for blending regional tradition with botanical innovation, this refined expression uses yeast propagated from the delicate pink nadeshiko flower. This rare floral yeast contributes to an enticing aromatic profile while highlighting the purity of carefully polished rice and exceptionally clean local water. The result is a graceful and expressive bottling that reflects the beauty and serenity of its mountainous origin, delivering a harmonious balance of fragrance, texture, and finesse that showcases the artistry of Japanese rice craftsmanship.
On the nose, captivating floral aromas rise from the glass, layered with subtle fruit tones that create a bright and inviting bouquet. The palate reveals gentle flavors of ripe pear and crisp apple, accented by a delicate touch of anise that adds complexity and lift. Its texture is silky and satiny, leading to a smooth, refined finish that lingers with clarity and elegance. Best enjoyed well chilled, this poised and aromatic expression pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, firm cheeses, and lightly spicy dishes, complementing their flavors while enhancing the overall dining experience with its polished structure and vibrant character.
