What kind of brewery is it?
Tenpoichi was founded in 1910 (Meiji 43) and has brewed sake at its site in Kannabe, Fukuyama, for more than a century. The brewery aims for sake that suits the food culture of the Seto Inland Sea region. Brewing uses soft water drawn from 200 meters underground, through two layers of bedrock. Koji is made by hand in the traditional way, with a focus on mild umami and a clean finish.
