It looks like Hakushika’s “Nekodasuke” sake, irresistible for anyone who loves both sake and cats, is going on sale again. It sells out quickly every year.
Here it is↓
- Release date: Friday, February 16, 2024
- Where to buy: Hakushika’s directly operated shop “Hakushika Classics” and the EC site “Hakushika Online Shop”
- Product name: “Kuromatsu Hakushika Nekodasuke Tokubetsu Junmai Yamada Nishiki”
- Quantity: Limited
- Price: 2,222 yen (tax included)
- Donation: 222 yen from each bottle will be donated to Nishinomiya City’s “Animal Welfare Fund”
- Rice used: 100% Hyogo-grown Yamada Nishiki
- Features: A flavor with a well-balanced sense of Yamada Nishiki’s umami and richness
- Purpose: Enjoy carefully crafted sake while helping cats
It’s a sake that lets you support cat rescue activities while enjoying the high-quality taste of Yamada Nishiki. Two good things in one bottle.
Too cute
This year’s label design was apparently chosen through a new project called “Nekodasuke Made by Everyone.” The design is by Okieiko, showing lots of cats happily hanging out together in a wooden masu box.
It will be sold at Hakushika Classics.
Or at the Hakushika Online Shop.
They’re Looking for 2025 Illustration Models
Good news for cat owners.
If you buy the 2024 Nekodasuke and post a two-shot photo with your cat, you may get the chance for your cat to become an illustration model for the 2025 release of “Nekodasuke.” Your beloved cat might appear on next year’s label.
How to apply↓
- Purchase: Buy the 2024 edition of Nekodasuke.
- Photo: Take a two-shot photo of Nekodasuke and your cat. If taking a two-shot is difficult, you can post separate photos of the product and your cat.
- Post: Tag your post with “#2025白鹿ネコダスケモデル” and post it from your Instagram or X account. Include your cat’s name and a PR comment.
Applicants whose cats are selected as models will be contacted by DM on Instagram or X.
Following Hakushika’s official SNS accounts (X: @THS_Sake, Instagram: @hakushika_official) is recommended.
Lastly
“Kuromatsu Hakushika Nekodasuke Tokubetsu Junmai Yamada Nishiki” is a sake that lets you help cats in celebration of Cat Day. It always sells out quickly, so we’ll publish this article again the day before it goes on sale.
