Akitsu Town, where the storehouse is located, is a beautiful small town facing the Seto Inland Sea. It is also the town of Hiroshima chief brewers.Â
Cradleped in the rich ocean that sparkles in the sunlight, Fukucho cherishes the soft taste of Hiroshima's unique Ginjo sake, which has been brewed by the townspeople for generations. The raw material rice is Hattangusa, Hiroshima's oldest native variety of sake rice, which was revived from seeds and grown with reduced pesticides and fertilizers. Enjoy the mellow flavor and aroma, as well as the purity of snow that melts in your palm.
We have a gift box available, so it is also recommended as a gift for someone special.

About Mermaid Gin
Having spent 2 years arranging and finalising their distilling licenses, friends Xavier Baker and Conrad Gauntlett launched the Isle of Wight's first distillery and their first gin, Wight Mermaids Gin, in 2015. The distillery and their 300 litre column still is located in Ryde at Rosemary Vineyard where they macerate 10 botanicals in grain spirit for 24 hours before distillation. The botanicals include 3 local botanicals from the Isle of Wight - rock samphire, hops and and elderflower. In 2019 the gin was relaunched as 'Mermaid Gin' with its striking new bottle.

The Gin Guide Review
Mermaid Gin is clean, refreshing and smooth, with impressive depth of flavour. Sweetness from the elderflower and liqourice are beautifully balanced with peppery spice from the Grains of Paradise and the lemon zest and cirtusy, savoury Boadicea hops. Enjoy Mermaid Gins in a gin and tonic with a garnish of lemon peel to bring out the zesty notes, or try it with cucumber or apple to balance with peppery spice and rock samphire. - Paul Jackson, 2017Â
