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 rich variety 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 sake brewer named Kamemori Mataemon from Yamato Province (now Nara Prefecture) to brew sake at Aobajo San-no-Maru, leading to the establishment of the domain's official sake brewery. Inspired by this, local sake breweries such as 'Hoyo', '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 brewers from the Nanbu region, which corresponds to present-day Iwate Prefecture, leading to the foundation of today's Nanbu brewers.

Wherever there are delicious foods, there are drinks that complement their flavors, and enjoying these drinks brings to mind the delicacies of the brewery. Breweries naturally aim to create drinks that pair well with daily meals, allowing you to enjoy sake that perfectly matches seafood in port towns 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 alongside it.

A young female toji who succeeded a brewery that has consistently won gold medals at the new sake tasting competitions since its establishment in 1902, the 35th year of the Meiji era. This sake brewery has an outstanding gold medal winning rate in the national new sake tasting competition. Born as the only daughter, Yurin Kawana began serious sake brewing in 2012 under her father's guidance. Now, she has taken over the brewery and is engaged in sake production primarily based on the traditional Yamahai method, which is synonymous with 'Golden Swamp.' The sake brewed with a woman's sensibility overturns the rugged image of Yamahai brewing, resulting in a light mouthfeel and a well-defined flavor.

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 a production area, such as traditional production methods, climate, natural environment, and soil, to the quality and social reputation of the product, 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. Generally, Yamagata sake is known for its soft and transparent quality, but with breweries equipped with the latest sake-making facilities, those that continue traditional handmade methods, and differences in water and brewers, each competes with its own individuality. It is unusual for the entire region to receive 'GI' certification.

In the sake-producing region of Tohoku, Yamagata Prefecture does not have a single brewery that stands out as a representative of the prefecture, which is why there is a consciousness to come together 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 that 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, advancing the efforts. The willingness to share their own techniques and know-how without reservation, to learn from each other, to improve, and to strive together, 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 unique and has no precedent in other prefectures. In 1995, 'Dewa Sansan' was born, followed by 'Dewa no Sato' in 2005, and in 2015, the flagship sake rice from Yamagata, 'Yuki Megami', was introduced. 'Dewa Sansan', despite being cultivated only in Yamagata Prefecture, ranked fourth nationally (as of 2013) after Japan's representative sake rice varieties 'Gohyakumangoku', 'Yamada Nishiki', and 'Miyama Nishiki', gaining attention as a production area for sake rice.

A sake that captures the season and leaves a mark on the heart. 'Reframe' reflects the air of a summer night filled with fireflies in a single cup... ▼ Brewer's Comment ▼ Imagining the 'air of the night' where fireflies dance, feeling the coolness of a summer night. After the rain passes, enveloped in the quiet air of a summer night. I hope you drink while picturing the fleeting light of summer in the distance. A refreshing taste, crafted as a cup for early summer. On a night after the rain, a fleeting light dances gently beyond the lantern's glow. The momentary sparkle that only visits the pure waters of Yudagawa in Tsuruoka City is encapsulated in the name 'Fire Dropping.' 'Fire (Ho) Dropping (Ru)' refers to something that drops light, an ancient origin of fireflies. The light trails quietly flowing through the darkness of the night are layered into the light and airy mouthfeel. Although the sake has a slightly sweet design with a sake meter value of -5, the clean acidity of 1.9 tightens the overall experience, resulting in a refreshing taste without heaviness. The alcohol content is also a gentle 14%, achieving a light mouthfeel despite being unfiltered sake. 'Wagauji Fire Dropping' will accompany your night as a cup that lightly illuminates summer evenings. Anticipating the summer that is about to begin... feeling the fleeting nature of the short summer from afar...

A limited sake aiming for a refreshing taste like riding the waves with the wind!! Polished to 50% using Yamagata's original sake rice 'Yuki Megami', this unfiltered, raw junmai ginjo is crafted to be light and fresh, suitable for summer, as if riding the heat waves. 'Yuki Megami' is a sake rice developed by Yamagata Prefecture, following 'Dewa Sansan' and 'Dewa no Sato', and represents the culmination of over 30 years of sake rice development. It was born to create high-quality junmai ginjo sake entirely from Yamagata-produced rice, rather than relying on the king of sake rice, 'Yamada Nishiki'. 'Aerial' is a surfing technical term that refers to a dynamic technique of flying into the air using the power of the waves. Since Yunohama Beach in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture, is considered the birthplace of surfing culture, the product name was chosen to convey a sense of respect, lightness, and freedom. It has a refreshing aroma with nuances similar to apples, a soft gas sensation right after opening, a smooth mouthfeel, and a fresh, clean umami that is light and juicy, creating a very pleasant and bright flavor profile. Enjoy the deliciousness thoroughly pursued to be enjoyable even in the hot summer.

This sake uses 100% of a special rice developed for Daiginjo and Junmai Daiginjo. In Yamagata Prefecture, farmers are working together to increase the quality of sake rice by improving the sorting ratio and producing larger grains. As a result, many high-quality rice grains are discarded along with broken and immature grains. The rice that is slightly smaller in size but of equal quality is discarded. The rice that has not undergone grade inspection and is milled up to 50% is the raw material for 'Eiei One Water.' Just because it is classified as 'non-standard' does not mean the quality of the sake is also 'non-standard.' This sake skillfully brings out the inherent characteristics of the rice, achieving both superior quality and cost performance. The refreshing taste of summer 'Eiei One Water' has made its debut this season! It features a slightly sweet sake quality with a refreshing acidity. This is the highest grade of non-standard rice from the original Yamagata sake rice, fully utilizing the excellent qualities of the original rice! Due to the type of rice used, it cannot be labeled as Junmai Daiginjo, but the production is equivalent to that of Junmai Daiginjo. You should be able to fully appreciate the delicate quality of this sake!

The brewery wishes for you to experience the true taste without being influenced by preconceived notions about sake rice or polishing ratios, so most data is kept private.

If you're curious, the unpublished specifications can be revealed after tasting!! First, enjoy a sip♪

Founded in the Netherlands in 1864, Heineken is one of the most famous premium beers in the world.

<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' allows yeast to slowly ferment inside the container after bottling or kegging, producing carbon dioxide that dissolves into the beer, resulting in fine bubbles and a complex flavor. 3. Bottled beer is delicious Kokumachi Beer is not bottled from kegs. It is bottled directly from the original container, maintaining the same quality as from a keg. Like wine, it has no expiration date. Enjoy the freshness of the newly made beer and the matured flavors of the aged ones.

Many whiskies that are re-aged are adjusted to an alcohol content of about 40-45% through dilution before bottling, but 'From The Barrel' keeps dilution to a minimum, setting the alcohol content at '51%'. Enjoy the robust drinking experience along with the rich and delicate harmony of aromas and flavors born from re-aging (Marriage)!
