Umenojuku Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. has created a new brand “PARLOR Aragoshi” that expands the excitement of sake.
The first brand will be two products: the liqueur “Otona no Kaniku no Numa”, which is a luxurious blend of two types of natural strawberries, and the “Otona no Kaniku no dressing,” which uses whole oranges to enjoy the crushing feeling of the fruit.
“We will continue to take on challenges without being bound by common sense.” The development of “PARLOR Aragoshi” is a new challenge that embodies the theme of Umenojuku.
By condensing the techniques cultivated for 130 years, we were able to sell it by repeating trial and error.
Whether you like alcohol or not, we hope that you will enjoy “unexperienced alcoholic beverages” and “get hooked”, which is the idea behind the product name “Numa(swamp)”.
“How to drink and eat can be changed freely”
You can eat it as it is, or you can enjoy it with milk, tea, carbonic acid, sparkling wine, etc.
It’s delicious even if you put it in ice cream or yogurt, and it goes well with roast beef and light chicken dishes as seasoning.
It is also excellent with Camembert cheese.
“How to eat can be changed freely”
A versatile dressing that can be used not only as a salad of your choice, but also as a sauce for carpaccio, roast beef, and prosciutto.
Furthermore, beyond the framework of dressing, it can be deliciously arranged as a cold capellini pasta sauce.
It goes well with grilled chicken, so it’s great for barbecues and camping.
Umenoyado’s ambitious and self-confident work that motivates cooking.

Umenoyado Brewery Co., Ltd.
The 130th local sake brewery founded. In recent years, we have been developing and manufacturing various products such as liqueur as well as sake. The sake name “Umenoyado” is named after the Japanese bush warbler, which is about 300 years old in the garden of the brewery, and enjoys its elegant chirping.
The sake brewed using Nanbu-style techniques has a deep nostalgia, and the sake is so delicious that the sake cup goes from the first to the second, and has won the gold medal at IWC2022. In recent years, the sake liqueur “Aragoshi Series” has become a big hit, and it is popular not only with sake but also with a wide range of people, contributing to the revitalization of the sake industry.

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.
