What is the origin of the product name "Kokoku"? The name "Kokoku" comes from the thought that the sake brewed in this lake country will become deeper and amber-colored as time passes. It is said that the name "Amber" is derived from the idea that the sake brewed in this lake country will become deeper and more amber with time. I don't often drink Shiga, but I liked it a lot because it was fresh!

I saw it for the first time. Even though it is close to my parents' house, there is not much Shiga sake available. Roppongi indeed! The product name, "Kokoku," is derived from the idea that the sake brewed here in the Land of Lakes will become deeper and more amber-colored as time ticks by, adding depth to the sake. The name "Amber Kokoku" was chosen with this in mind. The label is designed to express the vintage of the brewery with a spear scratch that marks the passage of time.
