We represent & import 7 esteemed, award-winning Japanese sake breweries to UK. Find our sake in many prestigious restaurants & online at www.tengusake.com

Tengu Sake specialises in bringing premium quality Japanese sake to the UK market. With well over 15,000 sakes available in Japan the choice can be daunting; fortunately, Tengu Sake has selected only the very best. Representing five esteemed, award-winning Japanese kura (breweries) we pride ourselves on delivering a delicious and authentic taste of Japan to the UK. You can find our sakes in many prestigious restaurants throughout the country and also online at the UK’s first and only dedicated sake shop: www.tengusake.com

As well as supplying to restaurants, bars, clubs and individuals we also manage a range of sake experiences. We organise sake seminars, corporate events, teambuilding exercises, sake and food pairings, private catering, and a sake concierge service for our more discerning clients. Additionally, we offer sake ‘pilgrimages’ to Japan: guided tours of our breweries and the opportunity to sample some of the best in Japanese cuisine and stay in some of Japan’s finest hotels – truly an experience of a lifetime. Fine sake - arguably as nuanced as wine and of a similar alcohol content - can be enjoyed chilled, warmed and with a wide variety of food. Lauded by Japanese chefs for its high umami content (the fifth taste) and its ability to enhance the food it pairs with, sake is gaining a notable following amongst western chefs, wine enthusiasts and gourmands alike. Discover what the fuss is all about by contacting us; as one of our breweries says, “Enjoy life. We’ll provide the sake.”

𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏 “𝑶𝒎𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊-𝒊𝒔𝒕”? 🍶🌾

Meet the wild child of the sake world: 𝐎𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢. Discovered growing wild in 1859, this heirloom rice is tall, temperamental, and notoriously difficult to grow. At one point, it nearly went extinct—dropping to just 3 hectares in all of Japan!

But for the brewers who brave its challenges, the reward is legendary. Omachi creates sake with:

✨ Earthy, complex tones
✨ A rich, expansive palate
✨ That signature “green” herbaceous vibe

From its discovery on a mountain pilgrimage to its modern-day revival by pioneers like Toshimori Shuzo, Omachi is a survivor.

Want to taste the “wild allure” for yourself? We recommend the brews from our friends at —they are Omachi masters!

❄️🐒 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝑱𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕…

Hidden deep in the snowy mountains of Nagano, 𝐉𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 is one of Japan’s most magical winter sights. When temperatures drop, wild Japanese macaques gather in the natural hot springs, sinking into the warm water while snow quietly settles around them.

Warmth in the middle of winter for those that want to indulge.

We can all learn to find comfort in simple moments. Hot springs, comforting food, and something warm to drink before the cold sinks in. 🍶✨

Winter isn’t something to escape… it’s an opportunity to slow down and enjoy.

Kanpai to staying warm, wherever you are (and enjoying a little warm sake!)

🍶🧀 Sake Meets Cheese — East Meets West at Berry Bros. & Rudd

What happens when Japan’s finest sake meets Europe’s most indulgent cheeses?
✨ Magic. Flavour. A night to remember.

Last Friday, we teamed up with La Fromagerie and Berry Bros. & Rudd for an unforgettable evening exploring how the umami of sake pairs perfectly with the richness of artisan cheese.

Guided by Tengu Sake’s Oliver Hilton-Johnson () and La Fromagerie’s Max Melvin, guests experienced six inspired pairings — from the bright, crisp Konishi Gold Daiginjo to the velvety Toku Junmai Daiginjo — each revealing new layers of harmony and surprise.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — and to our partners for making it such a special night of craftsmanship, conversation, and kanpai. 💛

Kanpai to new pairings and timeless flavour. 🍶✨

🎃 𝑩𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒏𝒈-𝑵𝒆𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝑳𝒂𝒅𝒚…👻

She’s beautiful. Charming. Almost human.
Until midnight — when her neck begins to twist and stretch through the shadows. 👁️✨

This Halloween, meet 𝐑𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐛𝐢 (ろくろ首) — one of Japan’s most chilling ghost stories.
By day, she walks among us.
By night, her wandering head drifts through the dark, searching for those who dare to look back.

A haunting mix of elegance and terror — just how we like our Halloween nights (and our sake). 🍶💀

So light a candle, pour a glass, and toast to the spirits that never rest.
𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐢… 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞. 🕯️

🥃 𝑲𝒂𝒏𝒑𝒂𝒊 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒉𝒖 𝑫𝒂𝒚 — 𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝟏𝒔𝒕! ✨

Every year on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝐬𝐭, Japan raises a glass to shochu — a spirit that’s been warming hearts (and hands) for centuries. This special day was officially created back in 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟕, inspired by International Sake Day, to give shochu its own moment in the spotlight.

𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝟏𝒔𝒕?
🍶 It’s the 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐮, right as bonenkai season begins — those legendary “forget the year” parties where izakaya buzz with laughter, food, and plenty of drinks.
🌾 It’s also when 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐮 are traditionally released in Kyushu, making it a natural time to celebrate the spirit’s craftsmanship and seasonality.

Smooth, versatile, and deeply tied to Japan’s drinking culture, shochu is perfect for this time of year:
🔥 Warm it up for a cosy night in
🧊 Pour it on the rocks or with soda for a refreshing twist
🍲 Pair it with hearty autumn dishes

And let’s just say… we’ve got a little surprise waiting for you. 👀

Just dropped: Gozenshu Light 2025 release
👺
If you’re looking for a tasty, crisp & refreshing brew then Gozenshu Light 2025 is surely it! Super limited UK allocation, get it while you can!

Gozenshu Light 2025 is an intentionally cloudy sake made using the traditional bodaimoto technique but in a very modern style. It’s also kept unfiltered, unpasteurised, and undiluted (muroka nama genshu) in order to bring you the greatest freshness and zing – the bottle pops on opening and, due to its cloudy nature, you can see the bubbles moving the sake around in the bottle – exciting stuff!

2025’s Light has its usual lower alcohol content (13%) but this year uses high malic acid yeast (Yeast No 77 if you really want to know) giving it a fermented fresh apple vibe not too dissimilar to cider.

Bright and zesty notes of green apple, peach, strawberries & cream; crisp, tight and refreshing with a bright impact, but light body and light umami. Think of it like a crisp glass of white wine but with a bit more thickness in texture due to the cloudy style.

This is a fun, limited availability sake that will charm sake lovers and newbies alike. Check out the website for more info.

✨ Smooth, dry, and endlessly drinkable
✨ Delicious chilled for freshness or warmed
✨ Flavours of crisp green apple, creamy rice & a touch of dark sugar

Pair it with sushi, robata, BBQ, creamy pastas, grilled fish — it’s your all-rounder for every bite and every mood.
