Introducing our brand
Vintage gifts that bring back memories of loved ones
Kosoki 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 will it impress alcohol lovers, but it will also be delicious for those who don't usually drink alcohol.
Vintage sake, which is imbued with the weight of time, is the perfect special gift for a turning point in life. The label will show the year of brewing and production. Why not give the gift of a fun time reminiscing about old memories along with some delicious vintage sake?
Traditional Japanese aged sake used by the Imperial family
From the Kamakura period through to the Edo period, aged sake was a luxury item that was highly valued for imperial wedding ceremonies and as a lucky charm for people of high status.
This is a valuable sake that is perfect as a gift on special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, mid-year and year-end gifts, wedding gifts, and retirement gifts for loved ones.
It is rare, making up only 0.001% of new sake production.
Aged sake is a traditional part of Japanese alcohol culture, but over time the number of sake breweries that produce aged sake has decreased significantly.
In order to revive the culture of aged sake, this brand travels around the country to select sake breweries that have been aged for at least 10 years and have excellent, mellow aromas and flavors.
The aged sake we carefully select is extremely rare and highly valued, accounting for only 0.001% of the total new sake production.
Introduced in Michelin-starred restaurants and hotels
Among the brands handled by Kokoshi no Bishu are some that are served in Michelin-starred restaurants and major foreign-affiliated hotels, and have earned high praise.
Aged sake has a complex flavor not found in new sake, which makes it easy to pair with a wide variety of cuisine, including not only Japanese food, but also French, Chinese, and Italian cuisine, as well as dairy products and chocolate.
Won gold medals in numerous domestic and international competitions
In just three years, it has won 24 awards at six international competitions in five countries, and is highly regarded by alcohol experts for its delicious taste and aroma.

This product is here
A set of two premium vintage barley shochu (1984) and brown sugar shochu (2010) for comparing the tastes. "Spirits AWARD"
This product, "Spirits AWARD," is a set of two bottles: "Kosoki no Biju 2010 Kana," a genuine barley shochu/unblended spirits that won the gold medal in the Japanese distilled spirits category at the 2022 Feminalise World Wine Competition, and "Kosoki no Biju 1984 Bibliophile," which won the silver medal.
1984 Outstanding
Although the undiluted sake has an alcohol content of 38%, you will be surprised at how sweet it is when you first taste it. Thanks to the extremely long maturation period, the rich flavor of the undiluted sake has been transformed into a full-bodied flavor and aroma, giving it a mellow taste.
Brewery: Bachishuzo, founded in 1923, Taragi-cho, Kumamoto Prefecture
Kuma Shochu, a globally recognized geographical indication, is characterized by the use of rice, which is more expensive than other shochu ingredients. In the 500-year history of Kuma Shochu, this outstanding brewery was founded relatively recently. This young brewery once took on the challenge of making barley shochu using atmospheric distillation. That young spirit is now being reborn after 35 years.
2010 Kana
"Kana" is a series aged in oak barrels. It has a gentle, sweet, floral aroma and a clean taste, with a soft, enveloping, smoky flavor that is pleasant to the touch. The smokiness from the oak barrels goes well with the brown sugar.
Brewery: Nishihira Shuzo, founded in 1927, Naze, Amami Oshima, Kagoshima Prefecture
The Nishihira family originally started making awamori in Shuri, Okinawa, but moved to Amami Oshima during the chaos of war and started making brown sugar shochu. Nishihira Serena, the great-granddaughter of the first chief brewer, Nishihira Tomi, is now carrying on the tradition as a female chief brewer. "Kana" means "beloved" in the local dialect. The brand name, which is aged in oak barrels, is fitting for this brewery.
