This brand name originates from the brewery’s ex-president who is the 14th generation of the family. Credited with successfully redirecting the trend in Japanese sake away from light, dry tastes to mellow, well-rounded tastes, this brewery is extremely popular, which is quite an achievement considering its location in Yamagata Prefecture, home to scores of brand-name breweries. Brewed from Yamada Nishiki rice grown in the Toku-A district’s Tojo town, this superb sake is available only onboard JAL flights. Its gentle, mellow taste warms the hearts of true sake lovers.

Takahashi Ikuhi-no-Mikoto appears in "Nihon Shoki," the first Japanese history book written in the 8th century, as the oldest real-life sake brewer. He is today enshrined in Ikuhi shrine, located within the premises of Ohmiwa shrine, as the god of "toji" (sake brewers).
"Mimuro-Sugi" is a Junmai-Daiginjo made from Yamada-Nishiki rice harvested in Nara prefecture, which has been extravagantly polished to 35%. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruity aroma evoking white peach, juicy yet clean acidity embodying freshly picked fruit, and the long afternote.

Hyakunen no Kodoku

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.)
