じゅんちょる
From the well-known Iinuma Honke in Koshi comes another year's Hoshiai.
Since its first release in 2020, this summer sake has received a very good response every year.
At the end of June, the last month of the year, the "Summer Pilgrimage" is held to purify the impurities of the passing days and pray for peace and tranquility in the remaining six months of the year.
This sake is made in conjunction with this ritual, and is prayed for good health, prosperous business, and family safety.
This sake is brewed to pray for the fulfillment of one's wishes, just like the miracle of "Hoshiai," or the reunion of Orihime and Hikoboshi (the star-crossed lovers).
It has a fruity aroma, acidity, and freshness that foretells of a bright future.
The bottle is covered with strips of paper on which wishes can be written.
On the evening of Tanabata, why not enjoy this auspicious sake while gazing at the starry sky and envision a future in which your wishes will be fulfilled?
