■ About the "Kuradashi Shinkyu-shu" Service

◆ What is the "Kuradashi Shinkyu-shu" Service?

　The "Kuradashi Shinkyu-shu" service is a new sake experience that creates a service where the "moment immediately after release from the cellar," akin to tasting at the brewery, can be provided in various locations through a dedicated vacuum-sake serving low-temperature server. This is achieved by filling sake manufactured at breweries into vacuum containers at the brewery and distributing it while maintaining its freshness in an air-free vacuum state.

◆ Features of the "Kuradashi Shinkyu-shu" Service

1. [Always Served in Optimal Condition]

　Preservation in a high-vacuum state suppresses oxidation and deterioration, maintaining the taste of freshly opened sake when served. Guests can enjoy Japanese sake in its best condition during various moments of their resort stay.
