On October 1, 2005, “Sake Day,” “space yeast” traveled into space on a Russian Soyuz rocket and stayed on the space station. 🛸🪐

In 2021, the yeast was submerged in the deep sea at a depth of 6,000 meters and trained to withstand 600 atmospheres, resulting in the world’s first deep sea space yeast. The probability of survival is one in 300 million!

Sake made with this yeast, which can only be described as a miracle, has a deep and rich flavor with an unparalleled finish.

The deep blue color of the label represents the endless vastness of the universe 🪐✨ and the boundless depths of the ocean. 🌊🪼🪸🐋

Narukomai Tokubetsu Junmai Deep Sea will be available to taste and purchase by the bottle at our Sake Day Pop Up event on October 4th at ! Make sure to follow the link in our bio to get your tickets! 🎟️✨
