For the second consecutive year, Kuge Honten’s flagship sake, Josen Ichinoide, was awarded the Silver Medal in the Futsu-shu (regular sake) category at IWC2025 - the world’s most prestigious wine competition. We were the only winner west of Hyogo Prefecture. I was very pleased, so I quietly celebrated with a solo toast. (President’s comment)
You can now enjoy Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Namagenshu USUKI and Tokubetsu Junmai Ichinoide at Sushi Bungo-mae Musui, located within the ANA InterContinental Beppu Resort & Spa (opened June 1). Pair our terroir-rich sake with fresh local seafood in an elegant setting.
At IWC2024, the world’s leading wine competition, Kuge Honten’s flagship sake Josen Ichinoide received the Silver Medal in the Futsu-shu (regular sake) category. We were the only awardee west of Hyogo Prefecture. I was absolutely thrilled, so I celebrated solo in true style-with one of my favourite dishes: bonito sashimi (skipjack tuna sashimi).
Anticipation fills the air for the creation of this delightful sake.
Today marked the debut pressing for this season's Daiginjo sake. It's our second year using "Gin no Sato" rice from Usuki.
Next week, the second batch of Daiginjo will be pressed, followed the week after that with the Tokubetsu Junmai Muroka Namagensyu - USUKI, brewed with "Wakamizu" rice from Usuki.
Excitement builds as the team works towards crafting exceptional sake.
