Kin no Yomogi - Delicate herbs, warm orange, floral lychee

Yomogi has an intense, tart flavor with a strong, pleasant aroma reminiscent of mugwort. Combined with Grand Marnier, Daiyame with its intense lychee aromas, and the barrel-aged Mugi Shochu DEN-EN Gold, it makes for a fantastic, complex drink.

Heat it up! Warm sake for the soul

Winter has us firmly in its grip: icy air, cold hands, gray days. Right now, there is hardly anything more soothing than a small bowl of warm sake. A gentle steam rises, delicate aromas unfold, and from the very first sip, a pleasant warmth spreads through the body. Warm sake is balm for the mind and soul.

Japan tips

The Ume Blossom: Japan's First Sign of Spring

While winter still seems to have Japan firmly in its grip, spring is already quietly announcing its arrival. Not with cherry blossoms and picnic blankets, but with a delicate fragrance wafting through the cold air—the ume blossom. Usually at the end of January, sometimes not until the beginning of February, the first delicate blossoms of the Japanese apricot tree open, marking the very first peak of flowering of the year. For many Japanese people, the ume blossom is more than just a botanical event. It is a cultural symbol, an occasion for rituals, festivals, and culinary traditions.

Japan and its 8 regions – a journey through diversity, contrasts, and culture

Japan is a country of contrasts: ultra-modern metropolises and centuries-old temples, snow-capped mountains and subtropical islands, tranquil Zen gardens and vibrant neon districts. To truly understand Japan, one should not view the country as a single entity, but rather as a mosaic of eight very different regions. Each of them has its own character, its own traditions—and its own unique highlights. A journey through Japan's regions is a journey through history, nature, and the present all at once.
