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

"Toki no Aya" - A tasting set of three premium vintage sweet potato and barley shochu (2005, 2006, 2008)
Each bottle of this product, "Toki no Aya," is endowed with the sweet aroma of sweet potato brought out through aging, a pleasant pepper-like spice, and the grain aroma and soft mouthfeel of barley.
This set is perfect for comparing different wines, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your meal or mood that day. With its refined elegance and rarity, it also makes a great gift.
2005 Sweet Potato Shochu Chizuru
The raw material is carefully selected Golden Senkan from Kagoshima Prefecture. The shochu is brewed in traditional earthenware jars and aged in jars inside a stone storehouse. The sweet aroma of fruit caramel tickles your nose, and you can enjoy the rich, mature flavor.
Brewery: Kamishuzo, founded in 1872, Izumi City, Kagoshima Prefecture
Although it shares the border with Kumamoto, this brewery is committed to using ingredients from Kagoshima Prefecture and proudly produces authentic sweet potato shochu. It continues to uphold the tradition of brewing in Japanese earthenware jars, which it has used since its founding. Izumi City is also famous for the over 10,000 cranes that fly there, hence the name "Chizuru."
2008 Sweet Potato Shochu Marunishi
The full-bodied taste of the undiluted shochu is felt directly, and then a spicy aroma similar to pepper rises from the background. Once the sharpness subsides, the sweetness of the sweet potato shochu slowly spreads throughout your mouth.
Brewery: Marunishi Brewery, founded in 1916, Shibushi City, Kagoshima Prefecture
The eastern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, where the Shirasu Plateau spreads, is home to high-quality sweet potatoes. Marunishi Shuzo uses these sweet potatoes to brew sweet potato shochu using the traditional, small-scale, handmade method. The taste and aroma can only be achieved by brewing in earthenware jars, a method that has been used since the company's founding. Marunishi Shuzo is one of the few breweries that focuses on aging.
2006 Barley Shochu Zuiyo
The mash is made with barley from Kumamoto and underground water from Aso, and distilled using traditional methods without applying pressure. It is characterized by the strong, fragrant aroma of barley and a deep sweetness. You can enjoy the impactful and complex flavor that also feels heavy and rough.
Brewery: Zuiyo, founded in 1867, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture
The sake ginjo yeast "Kyokai No. 9," which is now commonly used, was developed in Kumamoto. Southern Kyushu is a shochu producing region, but the reason there are so many sake breweries in Kumamoto is that Zuiyo, which was founded with the aim of "making the first sake in Kumamoto," was the beginning. Shochu, sake, and akazake are all brewed with roots in the Kumamoto climate.
