Ryusei Lab. Works. "HOP & OAK & RICE"

A bottle born from the "HIROSHIMA BARREL RELAY PROJECT," a joint initiative by five sake breweries and producers in Hiroshima.

This eight-year-aged Omachi sake has been finished in whisky casks that previously held IPA.

Different brewing cultures meet in a single cask to create an unprecedented flavor.

When poured into a glass, it releases a refreshing citrus aroma derived from the hops.

Take a sip, and a whisky-like smoky finish spreads, gently enveloped by the mild sweetness and umami of the Omachi rice.

Enjoy it slowly neat.

Or mix it with soda for a slightly luxurious highball.

The refreshing sensation of HOP, the deep finish of OAK, and the gentle umami of RICE.

A "crystallization of playfulness" true to Lab. Works., where these three elements overlap.
