There are many young people around New Face who are not good at sake. I decided to develop it with the thought that I want it. During development, we carefully researched “what aspects of sake do you dislike?” Based on this, we conveyed to Naeba Sake Brewery a number of concerns and requests regarding mouthfeel, taste, aftertaste, and texture. The most impressive thing about this is his passionate desire to “even though I want people who are not familiar with sake to drink it, I don’t want to lose the essence of the deliciousness of sake.”

In response to this passionate desire, Takeda, who is in charge of manufacturing “Joseumori”, has developed several types of products. We have them sample each one, and try out new ways to drink it, such as at different temperatures and on the rocks, or with soda, just like young people do, and then we decide on the final taste.

In addition, the designs for the bottles, labels, and neck hangings were selected and created through repeated meetings with Naeba Sake Brewery and Nyuface to find out how to get people who are not familiar with sake to pick it up. Did.
A taste that I can drink myself

This is an invigorating alcoholic drink that has a fruity, firm sweetness and umami from the rice, and a refreshing aftertaste that flows smoothly down the throat. The alcohol content is 14%, which does not give a strong taste as a Japanese sake, nor does it have a strong alcoholic taste. Chill well in the refrigerator and enjoy. For those who are not very tolerant of alcohol, we recommend drinking it on the rocks.

After experiencing and tasting a lot of sake, with the cooperation of Naeba Sake Brewery, we finally created the ideal sake!
While retaining the original deliciousness of Japanese sake, it has a refreshing taste that is easy to drink even for beginners. I highly recommend this to anyone who has never tried sake before, or those who have tried sake and found themselves not good at it, to give it a try! Of course, it is a drink that can be enjoyed by people who like Japanese sake. Thank you for your support of “Watanome”!
