Manai" @Standing drink 1,870 yen 720ml Hakurei (Hakurei) Sake Brewery in Kyotango.

Jyushidai Honmaru Hiden Tamagase" @Standing drink 40,000 yen 1.8L Kakushin Honmaru, a representative sake of "Jyushidai," uses a special technique called Hiden Tamagase. Hiden Tamagase means that Jyushidai's junmai kasuri shochu is mixed with water to restore the original tama-shu, which is a mixture of sake and water. This method adds depth and richness to the sake. The secret tamagashi is a unique technique of the Takagi Sake Brewery, and cannot be imitated by other breweries. This technique is a secret, and the details of the method and proportions are not disclosed to the public. Among the Jyushi-Daijo brands, only "Honmaru" uses the secret tamagashi. The brewer of "Jyushidai Kakushin Honmaru Hiden Tamagase" is a long-established sake brewery in Yamagata Prefecture called Takagi Shuzo. Founded in the Genroku era (1688-1704) of the Edo period (1603-1868), the brewery is currently headed by Katsumi Takagi, the 14th generation of the family. All of Takagi Sake Brewery's sake is carefully made by hand. The rice used is Yamagata Prefecture's Gohyakumangoku, Dewa Sanzan, and other rice suitable for sake brewing, and the water is natural water pumped from a private well on the brewery's premises. Because it is made with such an emphasis on quality, the amount shipped is extremely small, and it is known as a difficult-to-find brand.

Tokachi Junmai" @Sapporo 720ml 1,760yen Recommended sake for first class passengers on JAL domestic flights. 70% polished rice, but with a strong flavor and sharpness without any cloying taste. Hekiungura's brewing water is a medium-hard, mineral-rich water from the Fudanai River system, which originates in the Hidaka Mountains and has been repeatedly named the clearest river in Japan. Three types of sake rice are used: "Comet," "Ginpu," and "Kitashizuku," all of which are suitable for sake brewing in Hokkaido. In 2016, the sake brewing company in Mie Prefecture, which had suspended sake production, was relocated to Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, where the Sounkyo hot spring is located at the foot of the Daisetsuzan mountain range and is visited by approximately 2 million people annually, to establish Kamikawa Taisetsu Sake Brewery Co. As the only sake brewery in Japan located on a university campus, it was named after the student dormitory (Hekiunryo) of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. The pentagonal family crest is designed to represent the five tastes of sake: sweet, sour, spicy, bitter, and astringent, using the character for "big" in Daisetsuzan, beautiful snow, and an Ainu pattern as design motifs.
