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 brewing and production years. 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 sake breweries across the country to carefully select only sake with excellent, mellow aromas and flavors that have been aged for at least 10 years.
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.

A tasting set of three premium vintage sakes (1997, 1998, 1999) "Kotobuki"
This product, "Kosoki no Kotobuki," is a set of carefully selected vintage sake from the 1990s.
With flavors and rich aromas that have developed over time, and the brilliance of aged sake, it makes 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, a gentle, full-bodied flavor from aging, and a moderate acidity that envelops it like a veil, making it perfectly balanced.
Brewery: Kaetsu, founded around 1850, Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture
Komatsu, Kaga is known as the gateway to the skies of the Hokuriku region, but in the past it was also the setting for a famous Kabuki play. Kagetsu has been brewing sake here since the end of the Edo period, in search of underground water from the sacred mountain of Mt. Hakusan. The water and climate are just right, and the area is also home to Gohyakumangoku rice, which is perfect for sake brewing. The brewery is delicately constructed, with a distinctive flavor that is pure from the highly polished rice.
Brewed in 1998 Sato no Izumi
It has a gentle aroma reminiscent of black tea and a fragrant hazelnut scent. It is a matured sake with a good balance of rich sweetness and firm acidity. It has a long aftertaste and a pleasant sweet and fragrant aroma.
Brewery: Aizu Sake Brewery, founded around 1700, Minamiaizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture
They have been making sake since the mid-Edo period in Minamiaizu-Tajima, a post town on the road connecting Nikko and Aizu-Wakamatsu. In harsh conditions where temperatures drop to -20°C in the middle of winter, the sake they brew using ultra-soft water pumped up from 40m underground is characterized by its soft, clean, and gentle sweetness. It has continued to charm the people who come and go.
Brewed in 1999 by Narimasa
This Gohyakumangoku sake has been aged for over 20 years and is characterized by its light flavor. It has a sweet and gorgeous aged aroma reminiscent of honey and black tea, and a rich flavor with a mellow sweetness and a hint of bitterness. It has a refreshing dry taste with a firm acidity.
Brewery: Narimasa Shuzo, 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 lush green Mt. Iozan, called "Yari no Saki no Mizu." It is said that this brewing water was used when the warlord Sassa Narimasa, whose name the brewery takes its name from, sought water and struck the ground with a spear, which caused the water to spring forth and help him escape disaster. The rice is also grown with this water.
