Product details
Tenju Shuzo presents Chokaisan Mt. Chokai Pure Rice Expression, a refined release that embodies the dedication and innovation of Akita’s Tenju Shuzo. Crafted from premium rice carefully cultivated by the Tenju Rice Research Association, this selection reflects a harmonious balance of tradition and modern exploration. The brewery is renowned for pioneering flower yeast in its creations, with current president Takeshi Ohi leading the Flower Yeast Research Group at Tokyo University of Agriculture. Chokaisan Junmai Daiginjo is fermented with ND-4 yeast derived from dianthus flowers, producing a bright, aromatic character and a gentle, polished texture that showcases both the rice and the unique yeast signature.
On the palate, this expression is round and smooth, revealing delicate fruit notes of strawberry and concord grape. A subtle candy-like sweetness layers the profile, adding charm without overpowering the gentle elegance of the finish. Clean, soft, and refined, it offers a versatile dining experience and pairs beautifully with shellfish, fresh oysters, soft cheeses, and fruit plates. Best enjoyed chilled, Chokaisan Mt. Chokai delivers a graceful, aromatic experience that highlights Tenju Shuzo’s innovative approach while honoring centuries of brewing heritage.
