“New Year’s Day Shibori” is the new year’s standard sake from Asahi Sake Brewery, which has been on sale since January 1986.
The entire company is united in squeezing unrefined sake and bottling it early on New Year’s Day before shipping.
After squeezing on New Year’s Day and burning sake immediately, it is packed and shipped on that day.
It features a youthful aroma and rich taste unique to freshly squeezed.
It has a solid taste with sweetness and umami, but has a refreshing aftertaste.
Please enjoy it with the taste of winter with cold sake.
The label has an illustration with the motif of a tiger, which is the zodiac of 2022.
In addition, if you purchase “New Year’s Day Shibori Once Fired”, access it from the QR code on the back label and answer the questionnaire, 10 people will be given a QUO card by lottery.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
