“Good luck invitation white sake Junmai Ginjo” limited to the year-end and New Year holidays

2021.01.01

Imayotsuka Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. released a limited number of “Kaiun Invitation Shiroi Sake Junmai Ginjo” for the year-end and New Year holidays on December 18th (Friday). It is a raw liquor of Imayotsukasa, which has become a winter tradition for more than 40 years since its release.

As a gift for a distant loved one

Imayotsuka Sake Brewery is located in the Numatari area of ​​Chuo-ku, Niigata City. Founded in 1767, this sake brewery is made entirely from pure rice. At the time of its founding, it was engaged in the liquor wholesale business, inn business, and restaurant business, and made a full-scale entry into sake brewing from the middle of the Meiji era.

The year-end and New Year limited sake that has been sold at Imayotsuka Sake Brewery for over 40 years is “Kaiun Invitation Sake Junmai Ginjo”. It is a thick, sweet, raw liquor that is thoroughly focused on freshness. The label depicts the Seven Lucky Gods enjoying a lively feast with a sake cup in one hand, making it a perfect gift as a congratulatory gift.

Usually, there are many opportunities for gatherings during the year-end and New Year holidays, but considering the situation in the world, it seems that it will take some time before we can drink sake without hesitation. As a gift to thank your loved ones for the year, or as a festive table at home. We hope that you will be able to spend a wonderful time with a smile like the Seven Lucky Gods on the label of “Kaiun Bokushiroi Sake Junmai Ginjo”.

Thick and sweet raw liquor

“Kaiun Bokufuku Shiroi Sake Junmai Ginjo” is a raw sake that was brewed in December, when the snow flickers and the cold gets even more severe. Special sake for the year-end and New Year holidays, which is thoroughly focused on freshness, has been popular as a winter tradition for over 40 years.

It has a fresh and fruity aroma that is typical of new sake, and if you include a bite, the gentle and refreshing sweetness derived from Jiuqu will melt into your mouth. It has a low alcohol content of 11%, so it is recommended for those who are not good at drinking.

Call fortune! ?? It was also "blowing" sake

When it was first released, it was sold in a container like a sake bottle with a cork stopper. Since it is a raw sake that is thoroughly focused on freshness, yeast is still active in the bottle even after shipping. Due to its liveliness, it used to blow out to the ceiling the moment it was opened.

“On New Year’s Eve, a customer called me with a great swordsman.” The room I just cleaned is soaked! “. I went to apologize with a candy fold and cleaned it together. My dad, who tried to open it, was taking a bath with the liquor that he had blown from his head. I should have laughed at the bag next to him, “said Heikichi Yamamoto, the 9th brewery, nostalgic.

Now, of course, you don’t have to worry about it blowing out, and you can rest assured that it is delicious. You can enjoy the fresh taste that can only be enjoyed at this time.

Tipsy Seven Lucky Gods

The Seven Lucky Gods on the label have long been a painting in the reception room of Imayotsukasa Brewery, and have brought good fortune to the brewery for many years. It was used as a label when the package was renewed a few years ago with the wish that “fortune will come to our customers”, and it is also appreciated as a gift as a congratulatory gift.

If you look closely, all the Seven Lucky Gods seem to be relaxed with tipsy, with their cheeks dyed red with a cup in one hand. Ebisu has a lot of humor, such as lying down while holding a sea bream, and a lucky crane aiming for a sake cup like a Budai.

This picture is still hung on the wall of the Imayotsukasa Sake Brewery when the white sake is released every year. We will welcome you in a congratulatory atmosphere, wearing the old handmade Ito bottles and decorative barrels that are displayed inside the store and the labels of interesting sake.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
