Although it is a pure sake, it is kept in the low 15% range, so it is also suitable for those who do not like the strength of pure sake.
While bringing out the flavor of OMACHI, it also has a freshness and elegance.

Flagship of the Hirasen and Hiten series.
The sweetness and acidity underpin this sake, creating an ultimate balance that is neither too rich nor too thin. It is so light and pleasant to drink that it is hard to believe that this is a Yamahai-brewed sake, making it the perfect junmai sake for the coming hot season.

First visit to Shinbashi restaurant.
Local sake, rare, so I had it to finish.
Mukai Sake Brewery, founded 260 years ago and proudly located in Ine Town, is famous for Ine Mangaka, made from red rice, and the brand name "Kyo-no-Haru". The sake is brewed by a female master brewer, and its flavor and "bitterness" are well utilized.

At Hanatomitei, a ryokan in Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture.
Kumamoto sake is not often available in Tokyo.
The label is already very unusual 👀.
It is made from 100% Hananishiki, Kumamoto Prefecture's first original sake rice. The yeast used is Kumamoto yeast, and all the ingredients are made in Kumamoto Prefecture. It has a clean taste with a strong umami and richness.
The airplane label is the president's special touch.

We never serve sake that doesn't taste good."

Junmai Ginjo made with Miyamanishiki, a sake rice originated in Nagano Prefecture, and flower yeast. This time, it is a super dry, reasonably priced bottle made with "begonia flower yeast". It has a mildly refreshing citrus aroma. Although it has a sake meter of +18, it does not give a flimsy impression and is flavored with a firm acidity. It has a very crisp aftertaste and is recommended to be served warmed.

The "five" series is a limited distribution product that is only available at a few stores nationwide.
A new standard product of the "five" series, Red, is now available.
This time, it has a dry finish with a sake degree of +12. This is the first time in Gobashi's history that this level of dryness has been achieved.
The label looks like a "Z" in Roman characters, but it is a corruption of the Chinese character "Go".
Comment from the brewer
I heard that sake and red wine go together.
This sake is so dry that I want to put a "super" on it. Anyway, it is characterized by its refreshing and crisp taste.

Cute bottle!
They come in red and blue and seem to be randomly available.
Jukyu Booby" was released for the first time in six years. The unique label with a "Bonito Duck" on it is a nice touch, and the bottle is full of aromas and fruity flavors. The light, easy drinking and gentle flavor will make you want to keep on drinking this "addictive" bottle. This limited edition sake is full of humor and deliciousness, and is a full-blown expression of Jyukyu's character.

Yamashiroya's new goal was to return to its roots. Not too light, not too heavy. We sought to create a sake that is "just right" in terms of drinking comfort. While retaining the clear sake quality and gentle umami of the standard class, the original fullness and structure of the rice has been brought out in a more natural way. In the mouth, the gentle umami is accompanied by the refreshing acidity typical of summer sake, leading to a cool and crisp finish.

Mr. Wakanami's encounter with "Jukinmu" rice, repeated trial and error, and fruitful tastes have won awards in the prefecture, including the prefectural governor's award, and are the result of his firm commitment to "Jukinmu" rice year after year.
We are taking advantage of the characteristics of Jukinmu rice while being conscious of the theme of Wakanami, "the pushing wave of flavor and the trailing wave of lingering taste".
Gentle and natural sake quality.
Aromatic freshness with a refreshing muscat, white peach, and a bit of banana.
The palate is fresh, but with a rich sweetness and umami, with a slight bitterness accentuated by a light lingering aftertaste.

Summer in Japan is hot! Therefore, in order to make sake more comfortable and enjoyable from early summer to mid-summer, we have made a bold move and renewed our low-alcohol unpasteurized sake, which is sweet and sour with a beautiful aftertaste. Nagano yeast R (high malic acid production) is used, and the sake rice is Nagano's popular Yamae-Nishiki. It has a white wine-like nuance and is a delight to enjoy with food.

The Furuya Sake Brewery was destroyed by fire at the end of 2024. After that, with the cooperation and support of many people, including breweries in the same city of Saku, the Saku City Agricultural Administration Division, and sake rice farmers, sake rice that survived the fire was used to brew sake on consignment at Kurosawa Sake Brewery, and now the sake has been released.
Although only a very small amount of sake was produced, we hope that many people will enjoy this sake, which is a new step toward the rebuilding of the brewery.

Very mild aroma. Slightly grain-like.

The bold flavor of rice spreads strongly from a clean mouthfeel. The sharp acidity that only Akirika can produce is irresistible.

A summer-only sake that is perfect for the upcoming hot season, coupled with the cool name "Penguin" from Kankoubai, is now in stock! The aroma is mild, and in the mouth, there is a slight gasiness and citrusy, refreshing, juicy acidity. The light yet moderately spreading umami flavor will keep you coming back for more. Enjoy it with abalone, turban shells, and sashimi of the first bonito of the season.
