Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjo Shield Kameno O Namazake
"Kamenoo" is a variety called "phantom sake rice" discovered in 1893 (Meiji 26) by Tokunoka Abe, a current farmer in Shonai Town. Using that "Kamenoo", it was brewed with a special preparation formula that was done at the time of the founding of Tategawa Sake Brewery, which was to fill the pumped water (reduce the proportion of water used during preparation). .. The scent is a little more modest than the general Tatenogawa series. It tastes good, the acidity tightens the taste, and it doesn't feel as sweet as the value of sake. The elegant aroma is suitable for sake during meals, and it is finished as a liquor with a core that has an excellent balance of sweet and acid.

White Oak - Akashi Akashi TOJI Malt / Grain Japanese Whisky
Akashi whisky is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji (grand-master in the art of sake making) by implementing sake-making methodologies into the whisky making process. The distil pot used is smaller than those used by both Scottish and other Japanese distilleries, which in turn, decreases the levels of fusel alcohol. As a result, Akashi whisky does not require as long of an ageing process, while its core malt (cask strength) is smooth and delicate.
