A unique collaboration between the manga series Akatsuki no Yona and Kumamoto Prefecture's Joraku Brewery has resulted in a special sake product now available for pre-order. The "Onshu feat. Akatsuki no Yona" is a strawberry liqueur created using an innovative production method where music from the anime's original soundtrack was played throughout the manufacturing process.
Product Details and Special Features
This limited-edition strawberry liqueur represents a creative fusion of anime culture and traditional sake brewing. During production, all 25 tracks from the "Akatsuki no Yona Original Soundtrack" composed by Kunihiko Ryo were played to the sake, creating what the producers call a drink that allows fans to immerse themselves in the world of the series.

About the Onshu/Seishu Project
This product is part of a larger initiative called the "Seishu and Onshu Project," which aims to promote regional sake breweries and their local areas through collaborations with voices and music. The project concept involves infusing sake during production with meaningful sounds - whether voice recordings or music - that represent the region's culture and the collaborative work.
The Onshu (Music Sake) category specifically features sake exposed to music during production, with the belief that beautiful melodies and artistic expression can enhance the brewing process. This particular collaboration between Akatsuki no Yona and Kumamoto's traditional brewing techniques exemplifies the project's goals.
