Tenpai specialises in barley shochu and was established in 1898. This distillery was the first to make shochu using 100% barley for both the koji and mash elements of production. They have an unconventional approach and unique manufacturing method as they strive to produce products that are great to accompany and enhance food.
Tenpai’s Craftsman flagship line is based on the “ultimate pairing experience”. It is crafted with a technique similar to that of kimoto sake utilising natural lactic acid bacteria and polished barley cultivated with yellow koji for the first phase of shochu fermentation.
Spanish Orange has a sweet aroma, smooth mouthfeel and rich flavour. This shochu is designed to go with lightly savoury dishes with citrus notes or acidity. Pair with fish such as Mackerel, tuna, flounder, octopus. Grilled meats such as yakitori, tongue and tonkatsu, or foods using seasonings of lemon, yuzu, vinegar or mayonnaise.
