Cup Sake Project “Brewing of the Original Cup Sake Begins!”

Here is a follow-up report on the original "Fukushima sake" cup sake development project 📰✨
The brewing of the sake for the cup sake project has begun at Akebono Shuzo!

The highlight of this project is the collaboration between many different sake breweries🤝!
On this day, brewers gathered from all over Fukushima Prefecture. One after another, they carried freshly steamed sake rice to the fermentation tanks. The brewing water used was a unique blend, brought together from each participating brewery.

We spoke with Koichi Suzuki, Representative Director of Akebono Shuzo, where the brewing took place.

Message from Koichi Suzuki:
"We have been brewing together with so many other breweries and now we are finally ready to begin producing. It is unprecedented for 44 breweries to collaborate on a single sake, and I am excited to feel everyone's energy. I am confident we will create an excellent sake. I hope this cup sake serves as an opportunity for those who don't usually drink sake to give it a try."

The following day, brewing for a second, distinct flavor of sake took place at Sasamasamune Shuzo.
This project offers two different taste profiles. One features a combination of Fukushima Prefecture's original sake rice "Yumenokaori" and "Utsukushima Kirameki yeast," while the other combines the prefecture's original sake rice "Fukunoka" with "Utsukushima Yume yeast." 🍶💡

We will continue to share updates on this project via the "Fukushima sake" Instagram. Please stay tuned for more information!

"Great rice, great water, great people. Fukushima sake.🍶 "
