Message from the brewery:
"More than ten years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. Hoping for the region's recovery, we named the sake Futo-o, a proverbial expression, also sometimes called Okiagarikoboshi, of the survival spirit that no matter how many times you fall, you can get back up again."

Most important thing in storing Japanese Sake, both matured and fresh, is to shield your bottles from UV ray, thus we suggest store them in places where sunshine would not reach.
Also excessive vibrations could do harm to the quality of sake and should be avoided.
In order to prevent unexpected leakage, we recommend the bottles be kept upright, or liquid surface be below bottle-cap level.

Most after-dinner matured sake, with very dark colors, could be stored at room-temperature.
For other matured sake, if you would like to keep the maturation level similar to the level upon your purchase, or you prefer very slow maturation after purchase, we suggest store the bottles at temperature level similar to wine cellar (10-15 degrees centigrade) or below.

If you would like them to mature more, you could store them at normal-to-low room temperature (15-23 degrees centigrade). Storing in you closet during not-so-hot seasons and relocate them in the vegetable sections of your refrigerator during summer would be one option.

For orders from within Japan, we will send out the ordered items within 3 days from receipt of your order, except for festive seasons such as year-end holidays and golden week.
For orders from outside Japan, please make inquiry by mail (info@1910kan.com)

Tasting comments

  • Nobuhiro Ueno
    (Juku to Kan Bar Master / Permanent Director of the Toki Sake Association)

    (chilled)
    Gentle aroma of rice fat and cheese-like milk fat. The taste is gentle and pleasant in the mouth. I recommend warming it up a little for a more hearty tipple that can be enjoyed with your meal. The sort of gentle taste that when paired with food, you want to keep drinking forever.

    (warm)
    A gentle matured aroma remniscent of caramel, and a quick sourness develops in the mouth. This is followed by a gentle sweetness that settles the palate. It's an uncomplicated beverage. It's sharp and leaves a lasting impression. It's the sort of sake you want to let sit a bit after buying.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    (chilled)
    Pale yellow. Slightly stuffy aroma.
    The aroma is tame and gentle.
    It has a smooth richness and the back palate is made tighter by the acidity. Robust and sure.

    (warm)
    A gentle mature orthonasal aroma.
    Accented with caramel nuances, sweet undertones, and a slightly bitter taste.
    At the end, it is creamy with lots of umami.

  • Akiko Toda
    (Director of ITTEKI, Japan Sake and Meat Research Institute)

    (chilled)
    A warm, sweet aroma reminiscent of roasted sweet potatoes, tortoiseshell candy, and rice pudding.
    Thick and smooth texture. The palate has a gentle sweetness and a refreshing feel.

    (warm)
    A calming aroma reminiscent of forest and a nuance similar to bonito stock.
    It has a strong sweetness, but the acidity balances it out so it's not too oily, and the umami lingers for a long time. At 45℃, it will be gentle and sweet, and at 55℃, it will have a more soupy flavor. I would like to pair it with green seaweed bean paste tofu, and Kyoto-style oden, etc.

  • Yuji Yamauchi
    (Yushima Tenjinshita Sushi Hatsu 4th generation / 1st JSA SAKE DIPLOMA competition winner)

    (chilled)
    A scent reminiscent of cheese, with a gentle and soothing impression.
    It may open up more when exposed to air. It's gentle, and even when warmed, releases its flavor like a flower opening.

    (warm)
    The retronasal aroma is like creamy dashi (soup stock). Because of the way the pleasant soup-stock like flavors harmonize with the balance of sweetness and gentle umami, warming brings out the best from this sake. I would like to pair it with Kobujime (sliced dried herring or other fish wrapped in konbu seaweed and boiled) or grilled bamboo shoots.

    At 55℃, it feels more refreshing. It displays more food-friendly characteristics.
