🍋 Just Landed: Asahi Mirai no Lemon Sour! 🍋

We’re thrilled to introduce one of Japan’s most coveted and hard-to-find drinks: Asahi’s 未来のレモンサワー (Mirai no Lemon Sour)! This refreshing lemon sour stands out for its unique twist – each can contains an actual slice of real lemon, offering an authentic citrus experience with every sip. 🌿

🇯🇵 Known for its genuine lemon taste and natural ingredients, Asahi’s Mirai no Lemon Sour uses high-quality lemons that are hand-picked and freeze-dried to preserve freshness. This process ensures that the drink retains a true lemon flavor and aroma that can’t be replicated by artificial flavoring. Perfectly balanced with light carbonation and just the right amount of sweetness, it’s a must-try for any lemon sour fan!

🔸 We have two varieties available:
🍋 Original (5% juice) – Bold, zesty, and full-bodied for a deeper lemon taste.
🍋 Plain (3% juice) – Light and refreshing, ideal for those who enjoy a less intense flavor but still want that authentic lemon twist.

💡 Limited Stock Alert: Asahi’s Mirai no Lemon Sour is highly sought after and rarely found outside Japan. Don’t miss your chance to grab a can (or two) while they last!

🍹 Available exclusively at our store. Visit us and bring home a taste of Japan’s finest summer refreshment!

🌲✨ New Arrivals: A Taste of Kaze no Mori ✨🌲

Kaze no Mori sake series, crafted by Yucho Shuzo with over 300 years of history in Nara, draws its name from the Kaze no Mori pass. Since 1998, it has embraced the unique style of “unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.”

🦌 Did you know? Nara, famous for its deer, is considered the birthplace of modern sake. The oldest sake brewing method, Bodaimoto, originated here, at Shoryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Bodai. Today, only a few brewers, including those in Nara, are officially recognized to use this ancient technique.

🍶 Here’s what’s available at our shop:

🚪 Kaze no Mori Alpha 1 - “Gateway to the Next Chapter”
🔑 Kaze no Mori Alpha 1 Dry - “Key to the Next Chapter”
🍎 Kaze no Mori Weeks Yamada Nishiki 507 - Limited Edition
🍶 Kaze no Mori Alpha 5 - Sake Crafted for Warmth
🌾 Kaze no Mori Experimental VER3 - 90% Polishing Rate

✨ The Alpha series explores new themes and styles. The Alpha 1 offers a low-alcohol, fresh sake with a perfect balance of acidity, while Alpha 1 Dry is its “crisper” counterpart with a refreshing clean finish. Alpha 5, though also unfiltered and unpasteurized, is uniquely crafted for warm drinking and even includes a rare blend of 10-year-aged sake.

✨ The Weeks Yamada Nishiki 507 is a special release from the Kaze no Mori Weeks event, exclusively available on-site, but we managed to secure a few bottles for you!
