Selected Nationwide for Enjoyment Ice-Cold This Scorching Summer: "Japanese Sake to Drink Ice-Cold"

In recent years, with the increase in extremely hot days nationwide, breweries have been releasing cold sake and seasonal limited-edition sake for the summer.

Therefore, our store has carefully selected Japanese sake that is "delicious when chilled" from gold medal-winning breweries across the country. We have planned an original limited-edition summer set that allows you to compare the unique flavors of five breweries from Hiroshima, Shiga, Aomori, Hyogo, and Niigata, all from the comfort of your home.

The price is 5,980 yen (tax included, free shipping) for a set of five 720ml bottles. At approximately 1,196 yen (tax included) per bottle, you can easily enjoy the tastes of gold medal-winning breweries from across Japan.

Carefully Selected 5 "Gold Medal Winning Breweries" from the National New Sake Appraisal

One of the charms of Japanese sake is the ability to enjoy the distinct characteristics of each region and brewery. Especially in the summer, limited-edition cold sakes are released by various breweries, and many enthusiasts enjoy comparing them during this season.

This set features a selection of recommended cold sakes for this summer from breweries that have a history of winning gold medals at the National New Sake Appraisal. You can enjoy an experience akin to touring breweries across Japan from your home while appreciating the unique qualities of each region.

All five brands included in the set are products from breweries that have received gold medals at the National New Sake Appraisal.

Selected from Japan's leading sake-producing regions – Hiroshima, Shiga, Aomori, Hyogo, and Niigata – you can compare the distinct characteristics of each, such as the refreshing aroma, crisp finish, and the umami of the rice, unique to cold sake.

Only "Cold Sake" Recommended for Summer Selected

This year's theme is "Japanese Sake That Is Delicious When Chilled."

Our sake buyer has carefully selected sakes with a focus on flavors enjoyable during the hot season, such as refreshing aromas, light mouthfeel, and clean aftertastes.

The lineup is also easy to pair with summer dishes like edamame, cold tofu, grilled fish, and summer vegetable dishes.
