Exclusively with us: Akazake - a rarity with 1,200 years of history
Akazake is an absolute rarity from Kumamoto. Only two sake breweries still produce Akazake today - and one of them is our producer Zuiyo, which produces something particularly delicious with Tohi Aka-shu Akazake! Akazake is an ancient sake variety with a characteristic reddish-brown color and a history dating back over 1,200 years. Although the production process is similar to that of "normal" sake, Akazake is unique because wood ash is added during the production process.

Introduced: Ten Sho Chu by Ooyama Jinchichi Shoten from Ibusuki
The Ten Sho Chu is a very special sweet potato shochu (imo shochu), as the yeast and koji for this shochu were grown in a NASA space shuttle in zero gravity. Incidentally, "Ten Sho Chu" means space shochu and is also an amusing play on words in relation to shochu. This great craft spirit is normally only available in liquor stores in Kagoshima Prefecture. And also from us!
