Tengu Sake has teamed up with Tonkotsu Ramen on Dean Street, Soho, London to bring you an exclusive sake specials menu. The menu runs from 22nd but I’ll be at Tonkotsu on the day so pop on in and say hi!
Following the run-away success of their special Japanese craft beer menu, starting this Thursday, 22nd August, there will be a selection of four different sake from Tengu Sake for you to chose from. Each sake has been carefully chosen to pair spectacularly with each menu item, bringing out the best in both the sake and the food. There will also be a ‘sake flight’ where you can have a smaller serving of the sake to discover which one you like best!
On offer will be:
Black Face
Junmai Daiginjo
A deliciously smooth, structured and fruity sake with hints of banana and fruity apple. Made using water from the famous Nagara River (home of the Imperial Cormorant fishermen) this sake is best served cold.

Morning Dew
Junmai
