About

If you love cats and, above all, love sake, this is a drink made for you. (Of course, anyone aged 20 or over who may drink sake is welcome.) The president, a self-described "cat-loving president" who believes cats are the most adorable creatures and sake is the most delicious drink, was determined to bring this product to market and put his whole heart into it. Cats protect the sake's raw materials from rats, and cats bring people comfort and affection. Sake and cats both deepen human connections by serving as a bridge between people. These three elements are captured on the label. Beyond the shape of the label itself, when you touch its nose... Of course, the sake itself has been made with care. The entire batch is junmai sake. Chilled, as befits a ginjo sake, it leaves a faint aroma lingering in the mouth. Gently warmed (kan) to around 45°C, a temperature that feels like holding a cat, is also a pleasure.
