☀️Suwa Brewery: The secret to ageing Suwaizumi - the Cumulative Temperature! 諏訪泉熟成の決め手！積算温度についての1分動画です✨ We always say, "Junmai is Better, Kanzake is Even Better", but Mr. Toda from Suwa Brewery adds "Aged, then even better"! Ageing in a chiller and ageing at room temperature really does make a difference in the flavour profile of the final product. Please feel free to ask when you are choosing a sake! Full 23min video on Suwa Brewery's sake brewing is up on Kurara's YouTube channel! Please take a look at full version too:) ↓↓↓ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBYE_JT4wEk&ab_channel=KURARASINGAPORE Video footages by Mr. Hakuma, Toji of Suwa Brewery Music and SE from Dova-Syndrome Powered by Kurara Singapore

🌾Suwaizumi: Brewing starts from rice farming! 1min short video:) 諏訪泉：お酒作りはお米造りから。忙しい人のための1分動画です！お米を磨かないという美学もあるのです…！✨ ✨Less fertilizers --> good rice with low nitrogen content --> minimum polishing required --> rice-y, tasteful, complexity achieved! There's a beauty for not polishing the rice too...! If you'd like to watch a full version on Suwa Brewery's sake brewing, please visit our YouTube channel! ↓↓↓ https://youtu.be/lBYE_JT4wEk This is a 20+ min video on how Suwa Brewery harvests rice, preps the brewery for brewing, and crafts the sake! Suwa Brewery is an All-Junmai brewery in Chizu, Tottori Prefecture. Interested in trying Suwaizumi? Please visit our store in Tudor Court or Takashimaya to actually have a taste of Suwa Brewery's sake! If you have any question, please don't hesitate to DM us!

🎐Summer Limited Funwari Suzuyaka Tokujo Taimei Barley Shochu 遅ればせながらのご紹介:夏季限定ふんわり涼やか特蒸泰明 麦焼酎🌻 🌻A luxurious summer-limited barley shochu! The robust flavours of barley within the airy, light impression is just irresistible…🤤 A great meal-accompanying shochu that’ll play the perfect supporting role of your meals. ❄️What’s special about this barley shochu is that it has relatively low alcohol content for a shochu which is 19%, so you can just chill it and enjoy it on its own! (If you’re new to shochu, this is a very good one to try for the first time!) 🏞Good water is the key to a good shochu, just like sake. The water used to dilute the shochu is the clean and clear Takeda spring water from Oita Prefecture, which is listed in “Top 100 Spring Water of Japan”. 🧊Of course, on the rocks is a very nice and refreshing option too:) The beautiful bottle design with swimming goldfish is as mesmerising as the shochu inside. Please have a try!
