Long-Aged Sake 'Inishie no Bishu' 3 Brands Available for Tasting Set at THE GRAND GINZA from May 10th (Sunday)

Pasona Group's Takumi Sosei Co., Ltd. will begin offering a "Sake Tasting Set" featuring three brands from its premium long-aged sake brand 'Inishie no Bishu'—"Inishie no Bishu INISHIE Takumi No.1," "Inishie no Bishu Tenki," and "Inishie no Bishu Umehibiki"—at "THE GRAND 47 (French Cuisine)" within "THE GRAND GINZA" in Ginza, Tokyo, starting today, May 10th (Sunday).

Takumi Sosei has been developing the premium brand 'Inishie no Bishu' since 2020, aiming to inherit Japan's traditional aged sake culture. It promotes the unique appeal of aged sake, such as its profound umami, rich aroma, and complex flavors, which are not found in new sake.

The newly offered "Sake Tasting Set" at "THE GRAND 47 (French Cuisine)" within "THE GRAND GINZA" in Ginza, Tokyo, allows guests to enjoy a small comparative tasting of the three brands: "Inishie no Bishu INISHIE Takumi No.1," "Inishie no Bishu Tenki," and "Inishie no Bishu Umehibiki." 'Inishie no Bishu' was also featured on Nippon TV's "Ichimo x Kamaitachi Genba" broadcast on May 10th, 2026 (Sunday).

"Inishie no Bishu INISHIE Takumi No.1" is a blend of different aged sakes, crafted to be approachable even for those new to aged sake, and is a flagship brand that was adopted by ANA International First Class in December last year. "Inishie no Bishu Tenki" is impressive with its deep sweetness and smokiness from the Kijoshu brewing method, along with a strikingly dark, lustrous color unlike typical sake, and has received top-tier awards in sake categories at domestic and international competitions. "Inishie no Bishu Umehibiki" is a plum wine aged in bourbon barrels, offering vanilla and smoky aromas. It is one of the most popular brands within 'Inishie no Bishu,' allowing guests to enjoy a familiar plum wine with the depth unique to aged sake.

Through the experience of enjoying aged sake with meals, we aim to convey the profound charm unique to aged sake to more people and propose new ways to enjoy Japanese sake.
