Kokken Junmai Namachozō Tefu

Kokken Junmai Namachozō Tefu (純米生貯蔵酒 てふ) is a limited edition made of Yamadanishiki (kojimai) and Yumenokaori (kake-mai) rice milled to 60%. It is round and quiet and feels soft and gentle on the palate. Matured at low temperatures, it has a solid yet light and mildly tangy flavour. Recommended to drink chilled. It is an excellent match for tuna and bonito sashimi.

Kokken Brewery, established in 1877, only produces high-quality sake classified as Tokutei Meishō (特定名称酒, special designation) by Japan's National Tax Agency. On average, sake rice is polished to 55%. The brewery uses pure water from Oku Aizu. Junmai Daiginjō "Kokken," the masterpiece by Nanbu Tōji Sato Yoshihiro, has won the Gold Award at the National New Sake Contest many times. Junmai Daiginjō "Ichikichi", which uses a unique yeast developed by Fukushima Prefecture, won the Governor's Award in the Junmai category of the Fukushima Prefecture New Sake Contest.
