HOSHI NEKO (Star Cat) – Thinking of You Under a Starry Sky

A Collaboration Born from a Simple Social Media Post Sora ni Ao. is a Japanese visual artist who combines photography and words, capturing breathtaking blue skies, star-filled nights, and quiet moments of beauty through both images and language. This special collaboration began with a simple post on X that resonated deeply with a member of our e-commerce team. It was a reminder that even a few words shared online can touch someone’s heart, create an unexpected connection, and eventually grow into something real. Inspired by that encounter, Sora ni Ao., our E-commerce shop, "REIKA", and Kankoubai Sake Brewery came together to bring the idea to life. Among Sora ni Ao.’s many works, the image featured on the bottle was selected through a vote by the artist’s followers, making the label itself part of the story shared between the artist and the community. The sake opens with a delicate aroma reminiscent of fresh strawberries, followed by juicy sweetness and lively carbonation that sweeps across the palate. Refreshing acidity brings balance, leading to a crisp, clean finish. Best enjoyed slowly from a wine glass, this is a sake made for a quiet moment of reflection — perhaps while thinking of someone, or something, that holds a special place in your heart.
