Guided by its enduring commitment to "continuing to craft exceptional sake," Kamenoi-Shuzo, a long-established brewery founded in Meiji 8/1875, has been fastidious about Ginjo-style brewing for every batch of sake it produces. 

Kudoki-Jozu ("skilled at flirting"), created exclusively for JAL's international flights, is brewed with rare Aiyama rice - often nicknamed the "diamond of sake rice" - lavishly polished down to just 11%, before being slowly fermented at low temperatures. Experience this one-and-only sake's clean, elegant aroma and the delicate Umami of Aiyama sake rice. Kanpai!

Long-established Kuroki Honten Co., Ltd. was founded in 1885, and ever since has been solely devoted to producing Shochu. Since then, as the top-runner of Shochu brewers, they have been producing various Shochus for serious aficionados of this traditional distilled spirit of Japan, including “Hyakunen no Kodoku.” A masterpiece, “Hyakunen no Kodoku” is made from the malt of their barley Shochu “Naka-Naka” for JAL’s Business Class which is matured slowly in American White Oak barrels. The amber liquid created from the leisurely flow of time is the prelude to an exquisitely mellow flavor, which deserves to be a museum piece. You can enjoy the quintessence of this Shochu served straight, on-the-rocks or with mineral water. (In the wintertime, try it blended with hot water and savor the ample aroma.)
