Tenju Junmai Ginjo 1997 Wins the Jury Prize at Kura Master 2025
Held annually in France, Kura Master is a prestigious sake competition judged by top French culinary professionals, with a strong focus on food and drink pairing.
In the 2025 Koshu category, Tenju Junmai Ginjo 1997—sold under the double brand name Jyuku to Kan—has been awarded the Jury Prize, the highest honor in its category.
With a crisp yet beautifully balanced profile of sweetness, umami, acidity, and a touch of astringency, this vintage reveals its finest character when served at near-room temperature—much like a fine white wine. As its temperature shifts, so does its flavor, making it a perfect match for a variety of dishes.
Among Tenju Shuzo’s many vintages, 1997 stands out as an exceptional year, carefully selected in collaboration with the brewery. This exclusive offering is available only through us.
A sake recognized by French experts—perfect for personal enjoyment or as a gift for someone special.
Gift wrapping available.
