Taiheizan “Tenko 35” Heavenly Grace
Akita prefecture
Sends you to cloud 9
This sake premiered in 2019. Specifically designed as a competition-grade sake, the brewers apply all their expertise to its creation and meticulously regulate every step of the process. Their efforts are not in vain, as it won Sake Competition Gold in 2019! The bottle’s white label and iridescent monograms are reminiscent of the flavor inside, light sweetness like powdered sugar with hints of mint. Truly a little sip of heaven.

Kodama Brewing Company
Founded in 1879 as a soy sauce and miso producer, Kodama Brewing Company started brewing sake in 1913. They are one of the few sake breweries in Japan that is still producing both miso and soy sauce today. “Tradition and innovation from Akita” is their motto, and their impressive leadership and achievements throughout their history are evident in their numerous innovations and accolades — the invention of the new modified Akita kimoto method being one of them. Low-temperature fermentation utilizing the colder climate creates aromatic sake with smooth texture and complexity that is both nostalgic and refined.
