Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjo Shield Kameno O Namazake
"Kamenoo" is a variety called "phantom sake rice" discovered in 1893 (Meiji 26) by Tokunoka Abe, a current farmer in Shonai Town. Using that "Kamenoo", it was brewed with a special preparation formula that was done at the time of the founding of Tategawa Sake Brewery, which was to fill the pumped water (reduce the proportion of water used during preparation). .. The scent is a little more modest than the general Tatenogawa series. It tastes good, the acidity tightens the taste, and it doesn't feel as sweet as the value of sake. The elegant aroma is suitable for sake during meals, and it is finished as a liquor with a core that has an excellent balance of sweet and acid.
Tatsuriki Tokubetsu Junmaishu Dragon Red
This is a sake that shows its true value when warmed up. It is a dry junmai sake that was born from this concept and has a thick and deep taste from Yamadanishiki rice. Goes well with Japanese dishes using dashi stock such as oden, hot pot, grilled fish and cheese dishes.
Nikka Whisky from the Barrel Japanese Whisky
The history and evolution of the Japanese Whisky scene can be traced back to one man, Masataka Taketsuru; a man known as the 'father of Japanese whisky'. Taketsuru not only left Japan to learn the craft from the experts in Scotland, he also crafted Japan's first whisky at the Yamazaki distillery before establishing the premium whisky house of Nikka in 1934. This unique bottling of 'From the Barrel' is a breathtaking blend of malt and grain whiskies that are hand selected, blended together and then reintroduced to cask upon their marriage. The result is a blend that possesses a distinctive personality characterised by solidity, depth of taste and a richly expanding aroma. With immediate aromas of cedar and maple, it has an exploding mouth-feel showcasing cinnamon, dark chocolate, pepper and toffee. Serve with a little water to reveal cacao and tingling spices.
White Oak Akashi Meisei Blended Japanese Whisky
Established more than 100 years ago, the Eigashima distillery mostly focuses on producing sake and shochu. In 1984, however, it began making proper whisky known as White Oak. In the following years, the distillery made only blended whisky until 2007 when it started production on single malts as well. The Akashi Meïsei, which translates roughly as 'celebrity' in Japanese, is a limited edition blended Japanese whisky. White Oak Akashi Meisei Blended Whisky is made with 45% American oak matured single malt.
Suntory Toki Blended Japanese Whisky
Toki means "time" in Japanese. A vivid blend of whiskies from Suntory's Hakushu, Yamazaki, and Chita distilleries, Suntory Whisky Toki features the quintessential characteristics of a Suntory Whisky blend: exquisite balance, harmony, and oneness. At the same time, its unique pairing of Hakushu® American white oak cask malt whisky with Chita heavy-type grain whisky overturns the traditional hierarchy between malt and grain.

Double distillation of golden maesil (plum) then cold filtration gives a clean flavor of plum fruits with a dry palate. Best enjoyed chilled or on the rocks with a splash of soda or tonic water. Almost Eau de Vie like, with soft, textured flavors of plum and grain that is smooth as silk. Highly Recommended Often we know the Asian plum as a green plum but this plum gets to ripen until it becomes a reddish-golden color that accumulates natural sweetness and complex aromatics. The Han family owns a Korean plum orchard where they can harvest at the peak of ripeness. This producer makes high-quality Korean plum liqueur. Seoul Night is a distilled version of plum liqueur, which contains fruity aromas but without any sweetness on the palate.
