While Abekan Shuzou is known for its skilled sake brewing using table rice varieties like Sasa-Nishiki, this Tokubetsu-Junmai is also made from the table rice Toyo-Nishiki. Rice polishing ratio: 60%

[New Series]
What stands out is the absence of details such as production date, rice polishing ratio, or special-designation. Instead, it bears the name of a Japanese traditional color. This sake is named Kokimurasaki (deep purple). The rice variety is Aoki Sake Brewery’s specialty, Koshi-Tanrei. Kokimurasaki R7BY offers an elegant and refined flavor befitting its given color name. It boasts remarkably rich umami. After opening, about fifteen minutes later, its sharpness increases, revealing a refined and well-balanced profile. Well-chilled, it’s a sake that tastes delicious.

[New Series]
First, the indication of the production date has been removed; only the brewing year is stated. The label also no longer shows the polishing ratio that everyone loves to check. The name of the sake rice used is listed—it’s Yamada-Nishiki. In place of certain fixed ideas and potentially misleading information, Aoki Shuzo has introduced elements that invite the drinker to imagine and think. The sake’s name bears that of a traditional Japanese color, and the name “Kakurei” is written in yosemoji calligraphy—the lettering style used for vaudeville playbills since the Edo period. This particular sake is called Koiai-iro, and that color is used on its label. What kind of flavor do you imagine from this label? Feel free to savor it first with pure intuition—or dive into the story of Koiai-iro afterward—for an even more profound experience.

[Ginjo, Unpasteurized]
The frosted bottle, which looks so cool, has the word "Nama" (fresh) written prominently in kanji—which, of course, many people in Hong Kong can read—making it look incredibly delicious.
Of course, its flavor fully lives up to expectations. Made from Koshi-Tanrei sake rice, the Niigata's esteemed sake rice, this Ginjo Nama reveals a beautifully clear yet rich profile. The lively acidity sharpens its umami, creating a refreshing, well-balanced sake that leaves a clean finish. Although it shines as a chilled sake during the winter months, here in Hong Kong it feels especially perfect for the warm days ahead.

30BY(2018) Kimoto Junmai-ginjou
Awa-Yamada-Nishiki 100%
Awa Yamada-Nishiki rice, full fermentation, kimoto brewing method, and long aging—these techniques fuse to create a one-of-a-kind sake. Among the various Suiryu series, this one is a Junmai-Ginjo from 30BY with a 50% polishing ratio. This Kimoto Junmai-Ginjo version is more refined, offering a sophisticated texture with an almost graceful quality.

29BY(2017)
Complete fermentation and long aging periods combine to create a one-of-a-kind junmai-shu. It is released from the brewery after 6–8 years, sometimes over 10 years of extended maturation. Naturally, it continues to age for years afterward, even evolving and maturing for several years after opening. It has beautiful amber colour and superb purity. “Suiryū” (“Sleeping Dragon”) evokes a dragon awakening from deep slumber, symbolizing sake that reveals its true character through patient maturation.

R6BY(2024) HG (Journey to the Manyōshū Era)
Its striking yellow hue and bold "HG" lettering create a modern, edgy first impression. Yet the label's gentle mountain foothills, starry sky, sunrise, moon, and noble poet draw us across time to the Manyōshū era. Indeed, it must be Kakinomoto no Hitomaro: *Over the eastern fields, the glimmering haze arises; Looking back, I see the moon has tilted.* (Manyōshū vol.1 #48). Uda—home to Kubohonke Shuzō—is precisely where Hitomaro composed this poem.
Hatsugasumi HG Label embodies toji Mr. Kato's balance of richness and sharpness through complete fermentation and careful aging. Brewed with Gohyakumangoku and Nipponbare rice (60% polishing), it's ideal at room temperature or kanzake (warmed).

R5BY(2023) Onko-Chishin (Learn from the past)
The DNA of Kubo-Honke Shuzo, where over 300 years of inherited tradition coexist with a spirit of innovation that breaks conventional wisdom, can be summed up in one phrase: "Onko Chishin" (learning from the past to develop new insights). This sake proudly bears that phrase on its label.

[Restocked!]
A Good Omen – Although there are no words written anywhere on the label, this bottle has earned this nickname. The first crowing of a rooster in the morning has been considered a sign of good fortune from ancient times to the present, across East and West.
Abekan "Rooster" is made from "Sasanishiki" (famous as an edible rice) and Kuranohana (local to Miyagi). It's a Junmai-ginjou with a rice polishing rate of 55%, aged in the cellar during summertime, and all the elements are well integrated. The R6BY Rooster has a solid backbone and a high-resolution contour even within its softness. A smooth texture, a rich body, a dry finish, and is refined.

This sake is made from Kumamoto Shinriki. The sake is clean, transparent with excellent restraint. Furthermore, low-temperature aging is believed to have refined it by stripping away any excess, enhancing its sophistication. This indeed highlights the perfect synergy between Abekan’s style and the inherent qualities of this sake rice.
Kumamoto Shinrki (Kumamoto) 100% / Rice polishing rate: 60% Tokubetsu junmai
The character of this long-aged sake differs quite a bit from the ones made by Kubo Honke in Nara or the so-called San’in-style aged sakes. It also sets itself apart from those ultra-premium Niigata sakes—from Aoki Shuzō or Yahiko Shuzō—where highly polished Yamada nishiki Junmai Daiginjo is slowly aged at low temperatures. The result is something distinctly Abekan—unique and individual. It is delicious not only served chilled but also warmed. >>>More Info

Premium Abekan. Made from 100% Hyogo-grown Hakutsuru-Nishiki rice. Since Hakutsuru-Nishiki is produced in very limited quantities, this Abekan Junmai Daiginjo is not necessarily brewed every year. Fortunately, we were able to receive two consecutive vintages—R5BY and R6BY. Delicate and silky, with exquisite texture and crystalline clarity.
Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a sister rice of Yamada-Nishiki, and it was developed by Hakutsuru-Shuzou in mid 00's, aimed superior quality than Yamada-Nishiki. Same as Yamada-Nishiki, it is a hybrid of Yamada-Ho(mother) and Wataribune(father). Hakutsuru-Shuzou had repeated selection for 8 years, finally they obtained satisfactory excellent quality and named Hakutsuru-Nishiki.

[2025 Vintage / Art Label]
Selected from the finest sake matured in a snow chamber, it is released under the name “Years Bottle.” Each year, a renowned Japanese artist is commissioned to create the label, and for the sixth edition, the 2025 Years Bottle label was designed by Kondoh Akino.
It’s rare to find a sake that, when chilled, delivers such a dreamy, floating sensation. It has an extraordinarily fine texture and dense structure, yet melts gracefully in the mouth, unfolding with ease. But wait—perhaps it’s not only that the label reflects the flavor; maybe it’s also creating it, appealing to the senses and shaping our perception. Whether in wine or sake, there are many labels today with beautiful and unique designs, but the harmony between the label and the sake in YB25 makes it a true masterpiece.
>>>More Info
*Aoki Shuzou's "Years Bottle" is the project for the coming 100 years, to aim to create a new value of Japanese culture by integration of Sake and Japanese modern art. Released once a year, and label will be drawn by Japanese artists.

Yamahai from Abekan? Indeed, it offers a somewhat distinctive taste not seen in Abekan’s usual lineup. While it retains the brand’s hallmark purity — a refreshing aroma, smooth and supple texture, and a crisp, dry finish free from any cheap or ostentatious impression — it also carries a subtle complexity, an uncommon nuance that quietly changes the expression. Rather than being a sake that boldly declares its yamahai character, it’s crafted with restraint and elegance. For Abekan, it feels both new and traditional; and within the broader yamahai category, this one stands out as a refined newcomer with a slightly different personality.
What deserves special attention here is the sake rice Gin no Iroha. Abekan Shuzō must have had a clear conviction in choosing Gin no Iroha to craft this Yamahai Junmai-Ginjo. As fans of Abekan, we have a very good impression of this rice so far. It tastes wonderful right now, and we’re also looking forward to seeing how it develops over the coming months. For sake breweries in Miyagi Prefecture, it seems that Gin no Iroha will continue to establish itself as an increasingly important variety of sake rice in the years ahead.

The Abekan KAERU series makes a comeback after three years. This time, it's named "HanaEmu" (Flower Smiling). "HanaEmu" carries meanings such as "flowers blooming," "bearing fruit," or "beaming smile," and is an ancient Japanese expression used since long ago. Here, let's denote it as HanaM.
Miyagi Prefecture's "Gin-no-Iroha" rice is used at a 55% polishing ratio for this junmai ginjo.
"Gin-no-Iroha" is a relatively new variety that debuted in 2019, Abekan Shuzo released its first 100% "Gin-no-Iroha" version—a Junmai-ginjo White Label—last spring, but this time they're using this rice for both HanaM and a Yamahai Junmai-ginjo (to be introduced later).
This rice seems to produce a surprisingly full-bodied flavor; combined with subtle sweetness and a rounded mouthfeel, HanaM delivers considerable volume despite its 13% alcohol content. The previous Junmai-ginjo White Label "Gin-no-Iroha" also thickened remarkably in flavor after a few months on the market, which was quite surprising.

[2019 Vintage]
Aoki-Shuzou carefully selects only the best saké with good aging potential every year and reserves it for long-term aging in Kakurei's Yukimuro. The vintage 2019 Junmai Daiginjo was released after five years of aging. The snow aging in the snow chamber gave the saké a softer taste and smoother mouthfeel. Yamada-Nishiki from the Hyogo Special A district 100%, rice polishing rate: 37%.

[2024 Vintage / Art Label]
A sensational sake has arrived from Aoki Shuzou. Selected from the finest sake matured in a snow chamber, it is released under the name “Years Bottle.” Each year, a renowned Japanese artist is commissioned to create the label, and for the fifth edition, the 2024 Years Bottle label was designed by Higuchi Yuko.
Typically, this series features Omachi Junmai-daiginjo. The rice polishing ratio was 48% for the first three editions, but it was refined to 40% starting with the fourth edition. Undoubtedly, every year’s release is excellent, but the fifth edition, the 2024 Years Bottle, is truly exceptional. It is the first time we have encountered a sake that expresses Omachi in this direction and at this level.
*Aoki Shuzou's "Years Bottle" is the project for the coming 100 years, to aim to create a new value of Japanese culture by integration of Sake and Japanese modern art. Released once a year, and label will be drawn by Japanese artists.

The Yamada-Nishiki from Tojo can be likened to Pinot Noir from the Chambertin Grand Cru in Burgundy. Not only does it possess exceptional aroma and flavor, but it also has great ageing potential. This 37 series does not indicate a brewing year (BY), and it is typically released after about three years of ageing in snow chamber. Even after its release, we can expect long-term ageing. This sake is made to order. [2025 Release]
