This is a long-aged pure rice sake made entirely from Yamadanishiki rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture.
The master brewer himself blends several types of pure rice sake that have been aged for over 30 years, achieving a balanced flavor that can be enjoyed with all five senses.

The name of Kokon was given by the late Irie Sukemasa, who served as the Grand Chamberlain of Emperor Showa and had a deep knowledge of food. He was so impressed by the taste that he named it himself and even wrote the characters "Kokon" on the label, making this a sake with a long history.

How to store

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.

Tasting comments

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

    (chilled)
    An elegant and well-balanced aged fragrance that does not have a particularly distinctive scent.
    The taste is well-balanced and perfect, and you can feel the flavor of the rice.
    I want to enjoy the taste slowly.

  • Hidekazu Ishiwata
    (Former National Tax Bureau Chief Appraiser)

    (chilled)
    Bright amber color. The top is roasty.
    A hint of vanilla and a sharp sense of ripeness.
    It has a smooth texture and a sharp acidity and bitterness.

    (warm)
    The aroma is sweet at the top, with a hint of sulfur in the caramel.
    The aroma is full. The scent of burnt caramel.
    Sharp acid profile and delicious aftertaste.

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

    (chilled)
    Amber tones. You can also feel the tree stump, brown rice, and spiciness.
    The sourness is a bit strong, and the spicy aroma gives it an attacking impact, but it would be good as a drink with a meal if you pair it with spiced roasted chicken.

    (warm)
    Sweetness, sourness, and bitterness all come through.
    At a temperature of around 45 degrees Celsius, the flavor is fuller and more pleasant to drink. I would like to enjoy it with something that has a relatively strong flavor and bitterness, such as karasumi or butterbur miso.

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

    (chilled)
    A strong soy sauce-like aroma. The depth of flavor and the volume are commensurate with it.
    I would like to combine it with the fat and oil of meat and the acidity of fruit.
