This is an update on the development project for the "Fukushima sake" original cup sake series. 📰✨
The sake has now moved into the "Josō" (pressing) stage!
We visited Sasamasamune Shuzo in Kitakata City.

After about a month of fermentation, the "moromi" (fermenting mash) was sent to the pressing machine. As the freshly pressed sake—known as "arabashiri"—flowed into the tank, the area was filled with a beautiful "ginjo-ka" (fruity aroma).
Koutaro Iwata, Executive Director:
"The result is exactly as intended: a crisp, dry sake with a clean finish. It is not just dry; it also possesses a fine aroma and a solid structure. Since it is easy to keep drinking without tiring of the taste, I believe it will pair perfectly with bento meals during your travels. I can recommend this with full confidence as a 100-point finish."
A few days later, the bottling process took place at Akebono Shuzo in Aizubange Town. @akebono_brewery After undergoing a heat pasteurization process called "hi-ire," the sake was filled into the cups one after another. Caps were then applied to each, completing the line-up of finished cup sakes. 🍶✨
Koichi Suzuki, Representative:
"We have successfully brewed an excellent sweet sake that follows our design perfectly. I am looking forward to seeing it sold in these originally designed cups. I truly hope many people will enjoy it."
We can hardly wait for the official release! 💗
Please stay tuned for further updates. ☺️!
"Great rice, great water, great people. Fukushima sake.🍶"
