It begins with a son's 'filial piety' for his ailing father in the early Edo period. The noodles were made with only flour and salt water without using oil for the father, who was in a fasting state due to stomach illness, which is the origin of the 'noodles with a warm heart that cares for others.'
Deliciousness entwined with the rich mushroom sauce broth!
Yamagata's 'Meat Chinese Noodles' is a local dish originating from Kahoku Town in the same prefecture, combining Chinese noodles with a sweet and savory soy sauce-based soup made from parent chickens. Particularly popular is the 'Tsuttai (Cold) Meat Chinese Noodles' served with a cold soup, which is a beloved soul food throughout the year, characterized by the crunchy texture of parent chicken char siu. In the past, when there were no izakayas, the norm for drinking outside was at soba shops. Customers would enjoy a drink with boiled horse meat as a snack, and when they poured the leftover broth over the soba they ordered to finish, it was delicious, leading to its inclusion on the menu. In the past, every household raised horses for farming. After the war, due to ease of procurement, chicken began to be used. There are several theories, such as the effective use of fully grown chickens and the fact that the chicken soba, a dish for staff meals, did not solidify easily when cooled, leading to its cold serving. Our Chinese noodles are made from Kitakata noodles, which we have sourced, providing a refreshing texture. We also offer half portions of noodles, so how about cooling down with a half serving at the end?

Miyagi Prefecture is said to have been the first in the nation to declare 'Miyagi Pure Rice Sake Prefecture' in 1986, excelling in carefully brewing distinct flavors and delicate tastes that vary by rice variety, allowing enjoyment of a diverse range of flavors from local breweries. To pair with delicious ingredients from Miyagi, such as seafood and mountain produce, many sakes are light and crisp, making them an excellent match for meals! Furthermore, Miyagi Prefecture boasts that about 90% of its sake is high-quality 'designated name sake' that meets specific production standards, with traditions and techniques that have been carefully preserved, resulting in premium sake. The development of sake culture in Miyagi Prefecture is deeply connected to Date Masamune, the founder of the Sendai Domain. In the early Edo period (1608), Date Masamune invited a toji (master brewer) named Kamemori Mataemon from Yamato Province (now Nara Prefecture) to brew sake at Aoba Castle's San-no-Maru, leading to the establishment of the domain's official sake brewery. Inspired by this, local sake breweries such as 'Hōyō', 'Katsuyama', 'Kenkonichi', 'Abe Kan', 'Urakasumi', and 'Manzuru' began brewing sake, competing with the official brewery in techniques, which blossomed the sake culture. By the 1800s, when cultural activities were most vibrant during the Edo period, sake breweries that obtained brewing licenses began to invite toji from the Nanbu region, which corresponds to present-day Iwate Prefecture, leading to the foundation of today's Nanbu toji.
Wherever there are delicious foods, there are drinks that complement those flavors, and enjoying the drinks brings to mind the delicacies from the brewery. Breweries naturally aim to create drinks that pair well with daily meals, allowing you to enjoy sake that pairs perfectly with seafood in port town breweries and local vegetables and meats in inland breweries. When drinking sake from Miyagi, please take a moment to appreciate the land that nurtured the sake and enjoy the local cuisine as well.
From the Otokoyama Main Store in Kesennuma, a port town in Miyagi Prefecture. A carefully brewed junmai sake that utilizes the characteristics of sake rice. Bottled with the powerful essence of unprocessed genshu that can only be tasted at the brewery, showcasing a fresh flavor typical of nama genshu! Features a refreshing fruity aroma and a pleasant sweetness unique to freshly pressed sake, with a crisp and light aftertaste.
Another sake born from the same ingredients (rice, polishing ratio, yeast) as Kenkonichi's standard 'Special Junmai Dry', but with a difference in the process of finishing it either dry or sweet. This is also an attempt to further bring out the charm of Sasanishiki. The 'Kenkonichi' finished sweetly. It is said that serving it in a wine glass is preferable, so we will serve it in a wine glass! And, this sake pairs well with Pocky♪ So, with Pocky Day coming up soon... for those who order, we will include Pocky...♪
Fastest! New sake from Miyagi!! This is the first unfiltered sake made from freshly milled new rice! The fresh taste reminiscent of green apples spreads throughout the mouth, and the pleasant acidity lingers beautifully as it fades away. It is a youthful and vibrant sake perfect for pairing with food. Unfiltered sake... this is a cloudy sake that has not undergone heat treatment after pressing. Please enjoy the freshest new sake available anywhere!!
Kinryū, the brewery at the northernmost tip of Miyagi. A precious sake from the Nanbu style that will leave drinkers in awe. Available exclusively at about 60 stores nationwide! This rare sake is not available to non-members. It is a small brewery where about 8 brewers live and work. The only sake produced here is the Junmai Ginjo 'Kinryū', making it a unique sake brewery. With a smooth texture and elegant aroma, this sake will make you want to keep pouring more!
The name 'Heavenly Dream' was born from the brewery owner sharing sake with climbing friends at the summit. It was a cup enjoyed while gazing at the beautiful sea of clouds below. A companion, moved by its flavor, remarked that it felt like seeing a dream or illusion above the heavens, leading to the name 'Heavenly Dream.' The label design encapsulates the moment of inspiration born from the grandeur of nature. Its crisp taste and moderate richness enhance the pairing with winter ingredients.
Made with 100% Gin no Iroha, a sake brewing rice from Miyagi Prefecture. Carefully aged for about 8 months in low-temperature bottle storage! Characterized by a mellow umami from long-term low-temperature aging, a faint ginjo aroma, and a refreshing crisp finish. Limited quantity sake.
From 'Mukonoe Brewery' in Ishinomaki City, a limited sake released once a year!! This is the fourth installment of the limited brewing series. It features the elegant aroma unique to Miyagi yeast and a refreshing, soft, and gentle flavor that harmonizes beautifully. It has a very crisp mouthfeel, with a clean finish that is refreshing. The 'Limited Brewing Series' with different sake rice varieties includes a total of four types: 'Hattan Nishiki', 'Omachi', 'Gohyakumangoku', and 'Yamada Nishiki', all released once a year! Don't miss this year's final limited Mukonoe!!
From 'Mukunokai Sake Brewery' in Ishinomaki City, a limited sake available once a year!! This is the fourth installment of the limited brewing series. It features the elegant aroma unique to Miyagi yeast and a refreshing, soft, and gentle flavor that harmonizes beautifully. It has a very crisp mouthfeel, with a clean finish that is refreshing. The 'Limited Brewing Series' with different sake rice varieties includes a total of four types: 'Hattan Nishiki', 'Omachi', 'Gohyakumangoku', and 'Yamada Nishiki', all released once a year! Don't miss this year's final limited Mukunokai!!
A beautiful and mellow flavor!! The sake, born as it is, has aged beautifully after surpassing summer. It is sake that has been pressed without applying pressure, bottling only the best part of the sake <middle extraction>. With a transparent mouthfeel that flows smoothly down the throat, it spreads a refined and calm aroma. While it has a clean and mellow taste, it finishes with a firm acidity, and its gentle yet solid presence is truly characteristic of 'Kurikoma Mountain'!!
While gentle, it has a wide range of fruity aromas such as melon and apple, with a smooth mouthfeel and a rich, mellow flavor full of depth. The dignified transparency and excellent balance are outstanding. Hiyadori refers to the practice during the Edo period when sake was transferred from storage barrels in the brewery to smaller barrels for sale without heating (pasteurization), which gave rise to the term 'hiyadori' meaning 'to transfer sake while it is still cold.' Nowadays, sake pressed from winter to spring is pasteurized and stored in tanks, slowly maturing from spring to summer. When summer passes, it is bottled without a second pasteurization, resulting in hiyadori! Due to short-term aging, it becomes mellow and is shipped at the perfect moment when the flavor is just right. It is neither namazake (unpasteurized sake) nor hiirezake (pasteurized sake), and can only be enjoyed in autumn! Hiyadori uniquely combines the best of both namazake and hiirezake! So, what about 'akiagari'? It refers to the state of sake pressed in spring that has matured and become more delicious after passing through summer into autumn. 'Hiyadori' refers to the process and type, while 'akiagari' refers to the state. They share the same category, but it might be interesting to keep this in mind while tasting autumn sake!
In Sapporo, or rather nationwide?? Probably, at this point, exclusively available at our store 'super' limited!!! <Only one bottle available> Bottled directly, it has a refreshing aroma and taste. A soft sweetness from the rice and a subtle refreshing fragrance. A crispness and light finish. The slight carbonation from the direct bottling makes it enjoyable without getting boring. A light bottle favored by sake drinkers.
A ginjo sake blended from several types of 'Waterbird Record' that started with the yeast 'Honofuku' born in Miyagi Prefecture. It has a soft and refreshing taste with a gentle ginjo aroma. The balance is neither too sweet nor too dry, making it easy to drink.
In December 2016, Yamagata Prefecture received the designation of 'GI Yamagata' for sake. 'GI' stands for Geographical Indication, a system that links the characteristics of production areas, such as traditional production methods, climate, natural environment, and soil, to the quality and social reputation of the products, registering and protecting the place name as intellectual property. It is similar to the system that protects regional brands like Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne in wine. Although there are examples of 'GI' certification in limited areas for sake, this is the first designation at the prefectural level, attracting significant attention. Yamagata Prefecture is home to 51 sake breweries. Yamagata sake is generally characterized by its soft and transparent quality, but with the latest brewing equipment, traditional handmade methods, and different water sources, each brewery competes with its own individuality. Receiving 'GI' certification as a whole is an extraordinary achievement.
In the sake-producing region of Tohoku, Yamagata Prefecture does not have a single brewery that stands out as a representative of the prefecture. Therefore, there is a consciousness to unite and promote the region as a whole. Additionally, the toji, or sake brewing master, is often the owner or an employee of the brewery, meaning local technicians are in charge. In 1987, the Yamagata Prefecture Brewing Research Association was established to combine the strengths of each brewery for research and development. The local government also joined in to advance this initiative. The willingness to share their techniques and know-how without reservation, to learn from each other, and to improve through mutual effort, along with the seriousness and diligence common among the people of Yamagata, has enhanced the quality of sake. The focus on breeding original sake rice from the prefecture has also played a significant role in improving sake quality. The collaboration among brewers, agricultural stakeholders, and the government is unprecedented in other prefectures. In 1995, 'Dewa Sansan' was born, followed by 'Dewa no Sato' in 2005, and in 2015, 'Yuki Megami' became the flagship of Yamagata-produced sake rice. 'Dewa Sansan' is cultivated exclusively in Yamagata Prefecture and has become the fourth most prominent sake rice in Japan, following the renowned sake rice varieties 'Gohyakumangoku', 'Yamada Nishiki', and 'Miyama Nishiki', gaining recognition as a major production area for sake rice.
A special limited pure rice ginjo that expands the deliciousness and enjoyment of the sake 'Hatsumasu'!! The rice used is polished down to 60%, aiming for a pure rice ginjo that feels fresh with fruity aromas, crafted using the traditional brewing technique of 'namamoto'!! Namamoto is a traditional brewing method where lactic acid is not artificially added when creating the yeast starter, suppressing the growth of unwanted bacteria with the power of natural lactic acid bacteria, creating an environment conducive to yeast activity and promoting alcohol fermentation. A characteristic feature is the process of grinding rice known as 'motosuri'. Hatsumasu (Tohoku Meijo) is a rare brewery that brews all of its sake using this labor-intensive namamoto method! It has a subtle aroma reminiscent of bananas, a mild and smooth mouthfeel, and a light, juicy umami that is gently fresh! The soft acidity is well-balanced, resulting in a bright and pleasant flavor. Enjoy the pop label and the fun deliciousness that has never been seen before in Hatsumasu♪
A limited sake that evokes the beautiful moon illuminating the Sea of Japan, reflecting the terroir of the Shonai region!! This Junmai Daiginjo Genshu is crafted using rice polished to 50% and brewed using the traditional method of Kimoto! The product name is inspired by the majestic peak 'Chokai Mountain (summit 2236m)' that straddles the border between Yamagata and Akita Prefectures, and the beautiful moon shining over the local port town of Sakata. It features a floral aroma reminiscent of melons, a soft and smooth mouthfeel, and a clean umami flavor with a moderate richness and depth, resulting in a well-balanced taste with a gentle finish♪ This sake pairs well with simmered fish♪♪
Currently, Matsumine no Fuji is being transformed into a brewery that produces small quantities of high-quality sake, with Masakazu Sato, the president of Jokigen, also serving as president. The brewing is led by young brewers centered around Daisuke Naito. This new brand, the Matsumine no Fuji 'Family Crest Series', combines the youthful brewers with the traditions of Matsuyama Sake Brewery. It is fruity and refreshing! With a rich aroma and a moderate dryness! This sake uses two types of rice, Dewasansan and Dewakirari. The polishing ratio is quite high at 45%! As specified, you can enjoy a fruity aroma and a clean taste with minimal off-flavors. Although the neck of the bottle indicates that it is dry, it is not excessively dry and has a well-balanced dryness!
This special junmai sake is brewed with the premium rice 'Miyama Nishiki' polished to 55%, aiming to create a dry junmai sake that can be enjoyed casually and loved for a long time. It possesses the classic deliciousness that can be said to be the essence of dry junmai sake, the ultimate dry evening drinking sake! It pairs well with seiriyaki (simmered vegetables) too♪ With a soft and gentle aroma, a smooth mouthfeel, and a sharp umami with a solid richness, it is approachable, and the smooth finish is very pleasant.
Boasting the best in Japan, the beech primeval forest of Yamagata. Yamagata's agriculture is rooted in the pure water produced by its rich forests and the vibrant earth. Yamagata Prefecture has carefully selected the Tsuyahime seedling from 100,000 varieties over a decade. Tsuyahime was born in 2008 as a hopeful grain aiming to be the most delicious rice in Japan. The characteristics of Tsuyahime are its glossy aroma and elegant sweetness. It expresses the essence of rice! The more you taste, the more you can feel the agriculture of Yamagata in this sake... This junmai ginjo sake is brewed with that sentiment. It has a high aroma reminiscent of Yamagata's European pear 'La France' and a rich umami flavor. The rice polishing ratio is 50%, polished to the level of junmai daiginjo. Perhaps due to the high polishing, it has a light mouthfeel and a smooth texture, finishing without heaviness!! We deliver a cup that allows you to fully experience Yamagata♪
Smooth and delicate sake quality. 'A refined lord's sake.' This junmai sake is perfect for the castle town of Tsuruoka! Rare for Eiko Fuji, this junmai sake is fruity. True to Eiko Fuji, it is a beautifully aromatic sake. The mouthfeel is smooth, yet it has a solid core of umami. It combines fruitiness with elegance and has a hint of sweetness. Enjoy the gentle aftertaste while dining!
The Yamagata Special Sake Series 'Yamaki Warehouse' uses 'Miyama Nishiki', which was the main sake rice in Yamagata Prefecture until the introduction of Dewasansan. This rice is luxuriously used. The polishing ratio is 50%. While Junmai Ginjo typically has a polishing ratio of 60% or less, this sake exceeds that and is a Junmai Daiginjo with a polishing ratio of 50%. The rice used is Miyama Nishiki, which has been cultivated in Yamagata Prefecture for a long time. It results in a soft and gentle sake. Over the past 20 years, Joki Gen has achieved an impressive record of being ranked first in national competitions!
Barrel-aged limited quantity sake! Breaks the concept of sake!? Aged in old barrels used for red wine from the local winery 'Oura Winery' in Nanyo City!! When you take a sip, you'll experience a bursting mouthfeel and a gentle lingering taste of the barrel. This is a new sensation that pleasantly betrays the traditional 'sake-ness'! The barrel aroma is subtly nuanced, and you can enjoy a punchy sweet and sour flavor just as depicted on the comic-style label!!
Developed with the concept of 'A clarity that surpasses dryness', this is a dry sake with a +10 rating, distributed exclusively in Yamagata Prefecture. The umami of the rice and the refreshing crispness shine through! This is a junmai daiginjo that surpasses the preferences of sake lovers, not just a simple dry sake! -As a side note- (Sake Meter Value) The sake meter value indicates the level of dryness or sweetness (such as +8 or -5). A higher positive value indicates dryness, while a negative value indicates sweetness. So, why does this happen? First, a special floating scale called a sake meter is floated in sake at a temperature of 5°C to measure it. At 15°C, sake with the same weight as pure water at 4°C (specific gravity = 1) has a sake meter value of ±0, and lighter ones are displayed as positive (+) while heavier ones are negative (?). The reason heavier sake tends to be sweet is that fermentation requires sugars that serve as food for yeast. The yeast consumes the sugars to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide (the bubbles that appear in the mash). The sugars that the yeast cannot fully consume are called residual sugars, and since sugars are heavier than water, a heavier specific gravity in sake indicates more residual sugars, leading to the conclusion that it is sweet. However, human taste perception is very complex, and factors like alcohol content and acidity (total acidity including amino acids, succinic acid, acetic acid, etc.) intertwine, so the judgment of sweetness or dryness varies by individual. Please consider the sake meter value as one guideline. Personally, I believe that enjoying sake without preconceptions and 'drinking the sake you encounter at that moment' is one way to have a delightful sake life! Here's to new encounters...
The unique 'Super Ura' of the Gasan style. This is the limiter release version of the Gasan style! A limited edition sake available only at select retailers for a limited time.

This limited edition sake is released only in the autumn season in the local Shōnai region of Yamagata Prefecture, with the desire for more people to casually enjoy the deliciousness of sake made using the traditional namazume brewing method. The namazume method does not involve the artificial addition of lactic acid when creating the sake mother, instead relying on the power of natural lactic acid bacteria to suppress the growth of unwanted bacteria, creating an environment conducive to yeast activity and promoting alcohol fermentation. A characteristic feature is the process of grinding rice known as moto-suri. Hatsumago (Tōhoku Meijō) is a rare brewery that produces all of its sake using this labor-intensive namazume method, continuously creating sake with excellent cost performance. It features a refreshing and slightly floral aroma, a supple and smooth mouthfeel, and a soft, mild richness that showcases the characteristics of the namazume method, achieving a perfect balance that is neither too heavy nor too light. Enjoy the unique deliciousness of namazume sake from Hatsumago, which enriches your evening drinks during the autumn and winter seasons.
A fruity taste that has been bottle pasteurized after a certain period of aging! This is the autumn version of the 'Kamon Label' series, which has been cold-aged for a certain period after being freshly pressed into cloudy sake. The aroma is refreshing, reminiscent of bananas, with a slight remaining carbonation that adds a tingling sensation. The smooth and light umami evokes a fruity flavor similar to melon, resulting in a taste that is not found in regular cloudy sake.
This is a fresh sake made from Aizu-grown Yamada Nishiki rice polished to 45%! The aroma reminiscent of luxurious kiwi, melon, and white grapes is very elegant and vibrant, characteristic of fresh sake. It has a high-quality sweetness that is transparent, with elements of bitterness and spiciness that complement each other, creating a heavenly mouthfeel. Enjoy the exquisite umami in a light body, with a luxurious aroma that spreads beautifully, and a glamorous sweetness that feels very indulgent. The acidity is refined, fine, and clean, while the toasty bitterness and robust spiciness make a strong impression. Each of the five flavors stands out as expected from fresh sake, maintaining a harmonious balance typical of daiginjo. The smoothness on the palate is exceptional, and the aftertaste is dry and refreshing. By storing it until autumn, it has gained clarity and calmness, further enhancing its flavor. This is an impeccable daiginjo.
The flavor, which boasts a beautiful 'sharpness' and refreshing aroma, is crafted through new attempts while inheriting tradition. It is excellent as a food pairing sake and also suitable for quiet evening drinking alone.
Brewed based on Japanese sake making with the finest Hong Kong LockCha Phoenix Dacong Oolong Tea, it has a citrus aroma reminiscent of orange peel and a refreshing dry type of sake.
The unique aroma of craft sake combined with the gentle nuances of Japanese black tea creates a well-balanced drink that pairs easily with meals. Using Japanese black tea based on sake brewing, it offers a soft sweetness reminiscent of honey and a refreshing fragrance derived from the tea. With a light fruitiness that evokes apples and pears, it has a clean aftertaste that makes it hard to get tired of drinking!
Based on Japanese sake brewing, this uses hops to create a fruity aroma reminiscent of white grapes, accompanied by a subtle bitterness and a crisp dry taste! It's light and not easily tiresome, pairing well with a wide variety of dishes.
A sake contest where young people in Europe intuitively choose! Sake Pop 2026 'No.1.No.2'
Founded in the Netherlands in 1864, Heineken is one of the most famous premium beers in the world. Heineken takes pride in the fact that 25 million bottles are consumed daily in 192 countries around the globe, while never forgetting that quality is judged not by the scale of the brand, but by the purity of the beer. The rich and balanced flavor of Heineken, along with its subtle fruity aroma, has remained unchanged since 1873, using only three ingredients: water, barley malt, and hops, along with Heineken's unique Heineken A yeast. Even as it spreads across borders to the world, Heineken's passion for quality and taste remains unwavering. We serve it as freshly poured draft beer, not from a bottle.
<Characteristics of Kokumachi Beer> 1. Uses local ingredients from Sendai! By using locally sourced barley, which is the main ingredient of beer, we aim to create a system where you can enjoy local production for local consumption just by drinking it. 2. Natural CO2 from yeast Many small-scale craft beers connect CO2 gas cylinders to beer containers like kegs to force gas into the beer. Kokumachi Beer, similar to the method used for champagne, allows yeast to slowly ferment inside the container after bottling or kegging, resulting in carbonation that dissolves into the beer, achieving fine bubbles and complex flavors. 3. Delicious bottled beer Kokumachi Beer is not bottled from kegs. It is bottled directly from the original container, maintaining the same quality as draft beer. Like wine, it does not have an expiration date. Enjoy the freshness of the freshly made beer and the matured flavors of the aged ones.

He was particular about achieving ideal deliciousness and purchased a distillation machine that was extremely old-fashioned even for that time. The 'Cafe Still', which has become a rare existence in the world, has lower alcohol purity and distillation efficiency compared to other continuous distillation machines, but it leaves a moderate sweetness and flavor components in the distillate. This is precisely the deliciousness that Masataka sought in grain whiskey. The rich 'Cafe Grain Whiskey' is indispensable to Nikka's blended whiskey. Limited to Miyagi Prefecture, rare.

Many whiskeys that undergo re-aging are diluted with water before bottling to adjust the alcohol content to around 40-45%, but 'From The Barrel' minimizes dilution, setting the alcohol content at '51%'. Enjoy the robust drinking experience along with the rich yet delicate harmony of aromas and flavors born from re-aging (Marriage)!
