Introducing our brand
Vintage gifts that bring back memories of loved ones
Koko no Biju is a brand that only carries domestic vintage wines that have been aged for over 10 years, making them extremely rare.
The deep flavor that develops through long-term aging is completely different from that of new sake, and not only impresses alcohol lovers, but is also delicious for those who do not usually drink alcohol.
Vintage sake, which embodies the weight of time, is the perfect special gift for a milestone in life. The label will indicate the year of brewing and production. Why not give the gift of a delicious vintage sake and a fun time to reminisce about old memories?
Traditional Japanese aged sake used by the Imperial family
From the Kamakura period to the Edo period, aged sake was a high-class sake that was treasured as a lucky charm for imperial wedding ceremonies and by people of noble status.
This is a valuable sake that makes a great gift for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, mid-year and year-end gifts, weddings, and retirements.
It is rare, accounting for only 0.001% of new sake production.
Aged sake is a traditional part of Japanese sake culture, but as time has passed, the number of sake breweries that produce it has drastically decreased.
In order to revive the culture of aged sake, this brand has traveled to sake breweries across the country to carefully select only sake with a mellow aroma and excellent flavor that has been aged for a general rule of 10 years or more.
The aged sake we carefully select is extremely rare, accounting for only 0.001% of the total new sake production.
It has been introduced in Michelin-starred restaurants and hotels
Among the brands that Kokoshi no Bishu carries are some that are used in Michelin-starred restaurants and major foreign hotels, and have received high praise.
Aged sake has a complex flavor not found in new sake, making it easy to pair with a wide variety of cuisines, including not only Japanese cuisine but also French, Chinese, Italian, dairy products, chocolate, and more.
Won gold medals in numerous international and domestic competitions
In just three years, it has won 24 awards at six international competitions in five countries, and is highly praised by alcohol experts for its delicious taste and aroma.
- 18th Feminalise World Wine Competition 2024 Gold Award (4th consecutive year)
- Kura Master 2024 Platinum Award & Gold Award (3rd consecutive year)
- International Wine Challenge (IWC) 2024 Gold Award (3rd consecutive year) and more

"Kotobuki" Premium Vintage Sake Tasting Set (1997, 1998, 1999)
This product, "Kosoki no Kotobuki," is a set of carefully selected vintage sake from the 1990s.
With flavors and mellow aromas that have developed over time, the brilliance of aged sake will make special moments even more special.
Kaga no Tsuki brewed in 1997
This Junmai Ginjo sake is aged using traditional handmade methods to create a rich, mellow flavor. It has a mellow sweetness on the palate, and the full-bodied flavor that comes from aging is gently enveloped by a moderate acidity, creating a well-balanced taste.
Brewery: Kaetsu, founded around 1850, Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture
Komatsu, Kaga, is known as the gateway to the Hokuriku region, but it was also the setting for a famous Kabuki play in the past. Kagetsu has been brewing sake here since the end of the Edo period, seeking underground water from the sacred Mount Hakusan. The water and climate are ideal, and the area is also a producer of Gohyakumangoku rice, which is ideal for sake brewing. The brewery is meticulously constructed, featuring a pure, umami flavor thanks to its highly polished rice.
Brewed in 1998 Sato no Izumi
The mellow aroma of black tea and the gentle aroma of hazelnuts fill the air. This aged sake has a good balance of rich sweetness and firm acidity. The aftertaste is long and pleasant, with a sweet and fragrant aroma.
Brewery: Aizu Sake Brewery, founded around 1700, Minamiaizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture
They have been producing sake since the mid-Edo period in Minamiaizu-Tajima, a post town on the highway connecting Nikko and Aizu-Wakamatsu. In harsh conditions where temperatures drop to -20°C in the middle of winter, the sake they brew with ultra-soft water pumped up from 40m underground is characterized by its soft, clean, and gentle sweetness. It has continued to captivate the people who come and go.
Narimasa Brewed in 1999
This Gohyakumangoku sake has been aged for over 20 years and is characterized by its light, elegant flavor. It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma of aging, reminiscent of honey and black tea, and a rich flavor with a mellow sweetness and a hint of bitterness. It has a refreshingly dry taste with a firm acidity.
Brewery: Narimasa Sake Brewery, founded in 1894, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture
This small brewery in the Hokuriku region uses rice suitable for sake brewing, grown locally in Nanto City, and brews sake with the famous "water from the tip of the spear" from the lush green Mt. Iozan. It's said that this water was used when the warlord Sasa Narimasa, the brewery's namesake, poked the ground with his spear in search of water, and water gushed forth, allowing him to escape disaster. The rice is also grown with this water.
