• Tenjaku Suggested Recipies

‘Tenjaku’ translates as ‘Skylark’, the much loved herald of spring in the East and the West in Japan whos song is said to represent true love. Ten (Sky) Jaku (Lark)

Tenjaku Blended is a multi-award winning Japanese whisky. Made using only natural ingredients, carefully selected unprocessed whiskies and pure, naturally volcanic filtered spring water are aged in bourbon barrels for 3 years then expertly blended to create a distinctive whisky that embodies the harmony derived from Japanese nature and craftmanship. 

Tenjaku is created in the city of Fuefuki, located in the eastern part of the Kofu Basin in Yamanashi Prefecture. This fertile land encircled by soaring peaks, with the Chichibu mountains rising to the north and the Misaka range to the south, is renowned as Japan’s top peach and grape producing region. Looking towards Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps, it is a place blessed with boundless nature, with verdant forests, beautiful orchards, hot springs, and crystal clear streams.  

Tasting Notes: 

Tenjaku Blended is a clear amber whisky exuding a sweet aroma with notes of pear, dried fruit and a faint smoky accent. Well-balanced and mellow on the palate with a spreading sweetness to finish.  

Serving Suggestions:

On the rocks: Experience the smooth and unique mellowness of Tenjaku, followed by a generous, sweet aftertaste or try some traditional Japanese serve styles:

‘Mizuwari’: A highball, Tenjaku blended whisky cut with ice cold soda to release the sweet smoky aroma that bursts from the soda bubbles. This refreshing drink is often drunk at mealtimes as a low alcohol alternative to wine or beer.

Yuzu Tokyo Tonic: A highball, one part Tenjaku blended whisky to 2 or 3 parts tonic. Serve chilled on ice with lemon garnish.

‘Oyuwari’: Tenjaku blended whisky simply cut with hot water. Perfect in the cooler winter months.
