The special order sake that was being worked on for the 100th anniversary of Shinsuke's founding in 2024 was completed.
Since April 5 is "Seimei," or the day of the 24 seasonal divisions, the sake will be unveiled on the first floor starting today. The price will be the same as before, but it will be sold in a different way.
Both the Honjozo and Junmai sake are made with 100% Akita Prefecture ingredients only.
The junmai sake, in particular, is made from sake-komachi (Akita-komachi, a type of rice used for sake brewing), which is produced in very small quantities. It is tuned to have a mellow aftertaste when compared to honjozo sake.
With the completion of this product, all Shinsuke's Ryoseki are now "special-order items that are not for sale to the general public.
Since Shinsuke = Ryoseki has been established, the special-order label boldly focuses on the type of sake and the ingredients, making the brewer's name smaller and removing the Hare no kisho (good omen) icons such as the phoenix and the chrysanthemum flower.
We trimmed the amount of information and adjusted the back bar to create a cozy view.

Comment from Creative Director Fumihiko Sano
A new sake to be made in Nagaoka, Niigata.
What kind of sake will we make here for the first time?
As a prototype to think about what we will make and what we can do in the first year, we decided to use a simple title without giving a specific meaning to the name.

We did not prepare a specific etiquette for this bottle. The reason is that we wanted to express the state of something that is being made for the very first time, rather than expressing an impression of the sake.
The shoulders of the first batch of bottles are individually hand painted by the brewers, and no two bottles are the same.
As the bottles are shipped and transported, they are bumped, scratched, and wet, the paintings are rubbed, cracked, and peeled, and the time from the time they leave the cellar to the time they reach your hands continues to be etched on them, making them unique bottles.
Each bottle that arrives at your hand naturally expresses the time that has passed up to this point. The concept of the design is the manifestation of such time.

Thank you for having a drink from my hometown, Minamiaizu Town! There's a craft beer studio in Minamiaizu Town called Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing.
Hello nabe!

The "Tenshoku Asa Shibori" is a seasonal tradition. Every year, more and more people are talking about it, and it is now enjoyed by many and is very popular. In fact, this "Asashiborisubori" is a completely made-to-order sake that we ask the brewery to produce. The "Asashibori" is a special bottled version of the "Asashibori" that originally could only be enjoyed at the brewery.
This sake is junmai sake pressed early in the morning on Thursday, February 6. The new sake dripping from the tank was bottled and shipped as is. This sake has the crispness typical of "Tenshoku" junmai sake and a good taste that makes the most of the rice flavor. The balance between the original flavor of the rice, sweetness, and acidity brings about an exquisitely refreshing taste. The gasiness, like that of sparkling wine, is pleasant, and the aroma, like that of moromi, is truly fresh! Please buy it as soon as possible.
