Photo gallery: Gozenshu sake tasting at Sakagura with Tengu Sake

by Arline Lyons | Mar 29, 2017 | Events

  • Another morning shot from London Bridge.

  • Preparation well underway at Sakagura.

  • Different glasses and a small ceramic cup set out for the tasting.

  • Oliver Hilton-Johnson of Tengu Sake talked us through the history of the Gozenshu brewery and the sakes we would be tasting.

  • Dinner is served!

  • Oliver also introduced the ancient brewing method "bodaimoto".

  • As bodaimoto can produce very sour sakes, the Gozenshu brewery have adapted the method to soften the taste.

  • The stars of the show, the four Gozenshu sakes: an usu-nigori, the same sake as an unpasteurised namazake and pasteurised junmai (the latter served both hot and cold), and a futsu-shu.

  • I just had to try the sake lees vanilla and the wasabi dark chocolate ice cream.

  • The dessert menu seemed to have been written just for me. Will certainly be back.

  • There were beautiful display cases full of bottles, glasses, cups and flasks. This one was part of the stairwell.

  • I love this bottle design - and would be very intrigued to try a shiso shochu!
