Tasting Notes

TENKO 40 MUROKA is a refined expression of Junmai Daiginjo, crafted using premium Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 40%. This special Muroka Nama Genshu (unfiltered, unpasteurized, undiluted) version elevates the classic Tenko 40 with a bolder, more vibrant profile.

This sake bursts with high aromas of ripe pear, mango, banana, and bright citrus fruits, accompanied by delicate floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a velvety texture, allowing its deep umami richness to shine. Its complexity and structure make it an exceptional choice for those seeking an elegant yet powerful sake experience.

TENKO 40 MUROKA is an exquisite, unfiltered and undiluted sake that highlights the rich umami and aromatic finesse of Yamada Nishiki rice. Its luxurious texture, combined with tropical and floral notes, makes it a standout for connoisseurs seeking an intense yet refined sake experience.
