New Brand "飛天女~Hiten-nyo~"
A Symbol of Japanese Culture and Resilience
What is 飛天女?
Hello everyone! Today, we'd like to introduce you to our new brand, "飛天女～Hiten-nyo～." This brand is dedicated to celebrating Japanese tradition and the spirit of resilience.
"飛天女" refers to beautiful women believed to reside in the celestial realms. They are said to serve gods like the Heavenly Emperor and are known to soar through the sky wearing special garments called "羽衣" or "feathered robes." The name of this brand pays homage to these mystical beings.

The beautiful artwork on the label was created by the traditional Japanese yuzen artist, Mr. Yamamoto Yuki. This artwork symbolizes both a tribute to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 and a wish for recovery. Through this brand, we aim to support the further development and rejuvenation of Japanese culture.
The "飛天女～Hiten-nyo～" label features two scenes: one with a beautiful celestial maiden gazing quietly at the sea from the moon above and another showing her gracefully flying toward the sun, symbolizing hope. These images convey emotions and stories that words alone cannot express.
We also offer a special sake that complements this brand. It's a symbol of respect and hope for the traditions and the future of Japan.
