There’s a great little video from a series called “Folktales from Japan” in which sake and Tengus are featured in one of the short episodes. It’s made for kids but it’s a lot of fun and gives an insight into the Tengu legend!
Click on the image above to watch the video. Skip to 8m 30s to get to the relevant story or, if you’ve got some time on your hands, check out the whole video!
Tengu Sake is featured in Aga Living this Autumn! One of the best things to do with an Aga, surely, is to warm your sake on a cold day, so being featured in the Autumn addition is perfectly apt! If you want to learn more about which sakes should be warmed and how to do it, check out this blog post.

The full magazine can be found on the Aga Living website.
It’s a bonafide date in the Japanese calendar but why should 1st October in particular be Sake Day? As ever, it’s complicated but here goes… (more…)
This is going to be awesome. Last time we did a party in Kurobuta it rocked and this time we’re dreaming up some amazing sake and food pairings for you to try.
Not sure about sake? Want to discover the basics? Want to try a few and get your bearings?
If so then please join me for an introduction to sake at the Japan Foundation, London on 24 September 2014 from 6.30pm. Admission free.
The accolades keep rolling in!
Rocky Mountain has been voted “Best Sake with British Food” at this year’s Sake Experience at Hyper Japan. Over 1100 people visited the Sake Experience (a 44% increase on last year).
To celebrate our award I’m offering a 10% discount and free delivery for a half case (6 bottles+) of Rocky Mountain!
NB – discount only shows after you’ve logged in/registered and added 6 bottles of Rocky Mountain to your shopping cart. Discount only applicable to Rocky Mountain.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN
Rustic, raw and earthy
JAPANESE NAME OF SAKE: Gozenshu 9 Regular
TYPE OF SAKE: Junmai Bodaimoto
BREWERY: Tsuji Honten
This is a rustic, raw and earthy sake with malt, caramel and cereal all present on the nose. The flavours are smoothly presented, well-balanced, rich and deep. Again, caramel, malt and cereal are the predominant flavours and, when warmed (30°C – 45°C), Rocky Mountain favours the sweeter caramel notes.
Full umami in this sake means it’s a wonderful pair with richer flavours. Think cheese burger, think BBQ, think anti pasti, roasts, game, cheese, tomato sauces…
So, next time you’re reaching for a full-bodied red to go with your summer BBQ, why not grab a bottle of Rocky Mountain, wow your friends and experience umami matching like never before.
Visit the Tengu Sake shop and buy now!
Hope to see you there! If you don’t have tickets yet there still some available at hyperjapan.co.uk

This year there will be 11 Japanese breweries attending and you’ll have the opportunity to try sake from all of them. Two Tengu Sake breweries – Tsuji Honten & Yoshida – will be there.
