"Born" Sake Brewery Invitation
The FCCJ Entertainment Committee welcomes members and their guests for the annual "Sake Tasting Night" hosted by our longtime associate member, Atsuhide Kato. He is the 11th generation owner of the prestigious Born Sake Brewery in Fukui prefecture.
The treat this time will be the launch of a new product - the ultra-premium brand, "Born: Chogin Vintage", to be available globally in October 2024. The Sake is priced at a whopping one million yen per bottle and is aimed at top class wine and liquor connoisseurs around the world. Mr. Kato points out there is a growing market for special liquors including Japanese Sake in a market that is becoming extremely fastidious about quality. Born has been developing its new Sake product for the past several years.
The FCCJ will be the venue for this special launch. Due to the extremely limited production volume, Chogin Vintage won't be available for tasting. Born will provide a selection of its premium sake and serve selected food dishes to compliment the Sake. Born has won several international Sake competitions. In 1988 Born was the recipient of the Grand Prix at the International Sake Festival in Canada. In 2011, the brewery won the Champion Sake competition at the International Wine Challenge.
As is the tradition, this event is free. It will start with a brief press briefing for journalists.
Please don't miss this valuable chance to join the launch and enjoy meeting and greeting over Born Sake in the FCCJ again!
