This time's recommendation
Ikegame Sake Brewery
Ikegame Sake Brewery is a long-established brewery in Kurume, Fukuoka that was founded in 1875 and is known for producing sake using black koji for shochu. The refreshing sourness produced by black koji and the fruity aroma harmonize to create a new sensation of taste, almost like white wine. We offer sake that is a fusion of tradition and innovation.

Reason for introducing “Ikegame Sake Brewery”
When we tasted and compared sake from our hometown of Fukuoka, there were some that gave us a feeling that really touched our bodies. Among them, I fell in love with ``Kurokabuto Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki,'' which uses ``black koji'' instead of the yellow koji commonly used in sake, and has a sweet and sour taste similar to ``strawberry.''
We would like sake fans all over the country to try this, so we have made an offer to Ikegame Sake Brewery to appear on this occasion.
This time, we will be offering two bottles (300ml each) for comparison: "Kurokabuto Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki" and August's debut product "Ke Sera Sera".
Enjoy interacting not only with the brewery but also with the international sake brewery students (participants).♩
We look forward to your participation!
This time's sake
●Kuro Kabuto Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki (300ml)
This is one of the few Junmai Ginjo sakes in Japan, made with black koji from shochu through trial and error based on a secret method of making koji. The sweet ginjo aroma, smooth mouthfeel, refreshing acidity reminiscent of raw fruit, and rich richness are flavors that will change your impression of traditional sake. This special product is bottled immediately after squeezing, preserving its flavor without filtration. It is a powerful alcoholic beverage that enhances the deliciousness of any dish you pair it with.
●Ke・Sera・Sera (300ml)
We will be the first to deliver August's debut products! !
