Ishikawa prefecture
“Tengu” refers to long-nosed goblins in Japanese folk-lore, and “tengumai” means goblin’s dance. This sake is a harmonious amber brew with a unique, almost mushroom-like scent to compliment its earthy tones, which calls up images of forests. With every sip, the more subtly you'll pick up on, from buttery tones to a walnut-like sensation. These unique flavors are superbly balanced, you might find yourself doing your own “tengumai” as you partake.

Umami-rich, dried seafood pairs well with yamahai sake. For sake ware, we recommend cups or tools that can be for warmed or chilled sake.
