I’m a giant fan of sake—so massive, I even wrote a ebook on it! And I certain like video video games. However do we actually want sake for players? Will we? Apparently, sake bottler Hitomaku thinks so.
The Tokyo-based start-up has already launched its debut canned sake merchandise Problem Blue and Have Enjoyable Pink. In line with an official launch, the corporate raised over $21,000 by means of crowdfunding for its bottle-shaped canned sake launch. The thought was sake bottles have been too massive (they’re not, actually, they’re not) and that there was a need for a canned sake, which already exists. So does cup sake. However hey, now Hitomaku is making geemingu nihonshu (ゲーミング日本酒) or “gaming sake.” It’s known as Gaming Rainbow.
What’s fascinating about this launch is that Hitomaku has roped in former Capcom artist Kinu Nishimura and light-novel illustrator Mika Pikazo to do the labels. There’s even a countdown for a label reveal on YouTube, which looks like a bit a lot. However much more fascinating is the proprietor of the brewery that’s making the sake used to work within the sport trade. Yuji Tsuchida, who heads up the Tsuchida Sake Brewery in Gunman, reduce his tooth at a sport firm previous to taking on the household enterprise in 2008 because the sixth technology proprietor.
“Personally, as somebody who was beforehand employed at a sport firm, I’m exceedingly grateful for sake that’s for gaming,” mentioned Tsuchida. “We’re aiming for a taste that makes gaming much more satisfying whenever you drink it.”
As a result of Tsuchida really has sport trade expertise and owns a brewery, he may very well be the prefect individual to craft a sake that truly is designed particularly for ingesting whereas enjoying video video games.
The Tsuchida Sake Brewery, which focuses on kimoto-style sake, is a terrific brewery. To be trustworthy, something they make is simply wonderful for gaming in the event you drink and like sake. Heck, the identical goes for any sake you take pleasure in! But when this product will get extra folks considering sake, then so be it. Gaming sake, it’s.
