🎴Kitsukura Brewery
Birthplace of Tachibana Junmai and Tachibana Junmai Daiginjo
Kitsukura Brewery has been handcrafting its Sake since 1696, in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture.
From its inception, they have adhered to the principle that “sake is a gift from nature”.
🌾They work exclusively with rice grown in Nagano, maintaining long-standing partnerships with local farmers to achieve consistency in quality from the field through to brewing.
🫧Water is drawn from a well that has been in continuous use since the establishment, and is a soft spring water sourced from the nearby Yatsugatake mountain range.
❄️The cold, snowy winters of Nagano create ideal conditions for winter brewing, allowing slow, careful fermentation that preserves clarity and refinement.

https://t.co/Q1kJG7jK60
Kumahei Umeshu is crafted exclusively with the hand-picked estate-grown Kishu Nanko plum, Japan’s most highly regarded plum variety🔴🏆
It delivers an elegant balance of natural sweetness, vibrant acidity, and a deep aroma of Japan’s most esteemed plum.
Only three ingredients — plums, sugar, brewing alcohol — and no additives, are slowly matured for at least 9 months without dilution water, allowing the authentic flavour of the fruit to shine.
The plums are grown in the producer's own estate orchards in a regional agricultural system which has evolved for over 400 years.
It is precisely this environment that enables Kumahei to achieve the authentic product that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Certified as GI Wakayama Umeshu, the first geographical indication granted to a liquor in Japan, it stands as proof of origin, regional discipline, and uncompromised craftsmanship.

🍶Tachibana Junmai Daiginjo — available on our online store
https://t.co/vBb55gwxp7
Tachibana Junmai Daiginjo is crafted by Kituskura Brewery, a family-run brewery that has continued its craft for over 330 years since 1696.
It is made exclusively with locally cultivated Miyama Nishiki rice polished down to 49%, and pristine spring water flowing from the Yatsugatake mountain range right behind the brewery.
The profile is silky and composed, opening with gentle sweetness and refined rice flavour, followed by a soft, expressive fruit note.
🌾🫧Only rice, water, yeast, and koji are used, so called Junmai, allowing the character of Miyama Nishiki to express itself with clarity.
🏯Named after the Tachibana clan of the Heian period (794-1185AD), the label reflects the brewery’s lineage and continuity—carrying techniques, water, and local agriculture forward without interruption into the present day with its 18th generation owner.

It delivers a clean, dry profile with a quiet depth of rice umami rather than aromatic excess.
Sweetness remains subtle, allowing clarity and balance to take precedence, making it suitable with a wide range of cuisines.

LANDO WE CAN BE WORLD CHAMPION I SAIDDDD🔥🔥
It’s been a very long time.
My f1 serious follows started as he became a driver in 2019, began with the slowest car and many problems in the team’s management.
Every single year, steadily moving forward.
New engine, Zak came in, financial problem, new wind tunnel, Andreas came in, a few ups and downs with the new regulation, catastrophic break to the best breaks, and so on…
7 years later, our favorite cute kid is now a world champion🏆🏆
This time, fireworks were for you @LandoNorris
Congratulations 🧡🧡🍾
We unequivocally condemn the Chinese military’s use of fire-control radar against a Japan Self-Defense Forces aircraft. This action constitutes a grave and reckless provocation, and is absolutely intolerable. Such behavior poses a serious threat to the safety of our personnel and to the stability of the region, and far exceeds any bounds compatible with the safe operation of aircraft.
The Government of Japan considers these incidents utterly unacceptable, and we have issued a strong and unequivocal protest to the Chinese side, demanding immediate accountability and concrete measures to prevent any recurrence. Japan will not tolerate actions that needlessly escalate tensions or endanger our national security.
The Democratic Party for the People (DPP) will continue to stand firmly with the Government of Japan and to work closely with our partners in the international community to uphold peace, stability, and the rules-based order in the region.
私たち国民民主党は、中国軍機による航空自衛隊機への射撃管制レーダー照射を断固として非難します。これは重大かつ無謀な挑発行為であり、断じて容認できません。このような行為は、自衛隊員の安全および地域の安定に深刻な脅威をもたらすものであり、航空機の安全な運航に照らしても到底許容される範囲を大きく逸脱しています。
政府は、これらの事案を全く受け入れられないものと考えており、中国側に対して強く明確な抗議を行い、速やかな説明責任の履行と再発防止に向けた具体的措置を求めています。日本は、無用な緊張の高まりや、わが国の安全保障を危険にさらすいかなる行為も認めません。
国民民主党は、政府と連携するとともに、国際社会のパートナーとも緊密に協力し、地域の平和と安定、そしてルールに基づく国際秩序の維持に引き続き全力で取り組んでまいります。
