In the world of alcoholic beverages, there's a beautiful concept of "aging."
It's not just about passing years,
⏳ it's a transformation where time mellows the flavor and adds depth to the aroma.
Whisky that has slumbered peacefully,
Wine that has quietly matured,
Brandy and rum that have slowly aged in barrels.
Each has reached a state of "mellow maturity,"
holding a "story of time" within the glass.
👨👧 Father's Time, Walked Hand-in-Hand with "Aging"
Ever since we were children,
Dad has always been by our side 👶🏻👨🏻
Dad's back has supported us through every stage of life.
I believe that his journey, too, has accumulated its own "aged time."
🎁 This Father's Day, why not give the "depth of time"?
At Sumidaya, we have selected special aged alcoholic beverages as Father's Day gifts.
🥃 2025 Edition Brown Sugar Shochu Suminoe, 36 Years Aged
― A 36-year spirit nurtured by Japanese climate ―
Once carefully brewed in the Amami Islands, brown sugar shochu "Suminoe."
Its original distillate, bearing the memory of Ishihara Shuzo, the distillery that closed its doors,
has continued to slumber in the Japanese climate for a quiet 36 years.
This aged liquor has been quietly preserved in Machida Shuzo's aging cellar.
This original distillate, which can never be made again,
is truly the pinnacle of Japanese spirits.
The rich sweetness of brown sugar and the depth brought by years.
Beyond the realm of mere shochu,
this is a bottle that offers an experience of "drinking time."
🍷 42-Year Aged Botrytized Wine
― Botrytis-induced, eternal balance of fruit and acidity ―
A 1983 vintage of Coteaux du Layon, one of France's three great botrytized wines.
42 years of time brought about a miraculous coexistence of luscious concentration and beautiful acidity.
An aroma reminiscent of ripe apples and apricots,
a mellow honey-like sweetness that spreads the moment it touches the palate,
and finally, a firm acidity that tightens the whole.
An art called "mellow maturity," which only time can create.
This is no longer just wine; it's a masterpiece that makes one want to call it liquid jewelry.
🥃 Special Edition [50 Years of Time Sealed In] TARUBAR Aging Stick | Limited for Father's Day
― Bring back the "memory of aging" nurtured by 50 years of time, once more to your glass ―
Sumidaya usually sells alcoholic beverages.
However, this time, we encountered an exceptionally special item that we really wanted to introduce to whisky lovers.
That is this "whisky stick made from 50-year-aged sherry cask wood."
For 50 years, single malt whisky slept in this sherry cask.
Gently insert a stick made from that wood into a whisky bottle for two weeks.
While it's only a slight change, mellowness and depth gradually enhance the flavor.
Not to "change the taste," but
a gift to feel the "weight of time."
A bottle that you'll want to give especially on Father's Day, one that evokes memories and gratitude.
💬 What you're giving, along with the flavor, is "time."
This Father's Day, why not give a "deep" drink, rather than an "expensive" one?
Now that he's older, why not choose a bottle that he'll want to savor slowly, one that truly resonates with him?

🧑🍳 A word from Store Manager Yoko
Aged spirits are not just a luxury.
I would be delighted if we could convey gratitude along with "flavors nurtured by time."
I'm sure it will be a drink that remains in your father's memory 😊
