Tonoike Shuzoten, a brewery based in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, has announced the September 17, 2026, release of a limited edition sake under its award-winning ‘bo:’ brand.

Tonoike Shuzoten, founded in 1937, has expanded its reach to 17 countries and continues to focus on regional revitalization and international exports of its highly decorated sake brands.
