About the 40th Anniversary Commemorative Bottle "Keishin

Keishin" is a special product that combines the beauty of prestigious Arita porcelain and the sake brewing techniques that the Munemasa Sake Brewery has maintained. The premium Aritayaki porcelain bottle, which was painstakingly crafted one by one by the expert artisans of Koransha, founded in 1879 (Meiji 12), is filled with the original shochu liquor that has matured over 20 years to a more mature taste, which won the grand prize at the 2003 Fukuoka National Taxation Bureau Sake Breeding Competition. The multi-layered flavor unique to shochu made with black malted rice has become even mellower and deeper with the passage of time. You will enjoy this authentic barley shochu that has been refined over the past 20 years and has reached the peak of maturity.
