When I go to Hokkaido, I always buy Oyama or go to a brewery to try it out, but I don't notice that the bottle has a recycling mark. Russia next door may have a sake wine store opened in the spring of 2023. The technology was brought over by Kikuyong from Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture. In addition to brewing, there is another brewery that also operates hotels and lodgings. In the future, if you go to Tokyo to play, you can go to Okutama Lake. In addition to experiencing history and culture, you can also have both food, lodging and entertainment in one stop.

Want to flourish the empty bottle recycling culture again. Collection of recycled bottles for exchange

About 260,000 one-liter bottles are sold in Hokkaido Oyama every year, 90% of which are recycled bottles. Usually, the bottle is bought from a manufacturer in Asahikawa City, washed twice at high temperature with a large machine, and used. Compared with new bottles, the cost of using recycled bottles for cleaning and reuse is not very large. It is also the responsibility and obligation of enterprises to protect resources. From 7/6/2021, citizens of Asahikawa can take a one-liter bottle for brewing recycling and can participate in the "みんなのマイボトルメンバー system ", according to the number of bottles that can be reused, one bottle can collect two points (Oyama's reuse empty bottle, 720ml with R mark, 1.8L There are Marusaka marks, as well as recycled bottles from other Hokkaido sake breweries), other bottles can be collected a little, and if you collect 36 points, you can exchange for a 720ml bottle of Oyama goods.

Russia's first sake collection is about to open in 2023?

To promote Japanese sake culture in Russia, the three pillars to realize this dream are Anna, a Russian girl who loves Japanese culture; The project of Russia's first sake store started by "MTC Japan" of Russia's import and export trade. From the promotion of local sake, the local contribution to Yamagata, and the development of cultural exchanges between the two countries, the establishment of a sake brewery in Russia has a very positive meaning. This project was once interrupted due to the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic, the sharp decline in Juyong's sales and the inability to travel between the two countries. However, in the case of the regional economic recession caused by the epidemic, in order to bring vitality to the local area, it was decided to restart and challenge the crowdfunding plan. The drawing is to raise the cost of building the sake brewery , and the target is 3 million yen.

Although there are not many Japanese sake exported to Russia at present, the output volume from January to May 2021 is 58,212L (the average price is 443 yen/L), which is simply an emerging market, and I am afraid that the consumption is concentrated in St. Petersburg. From another perspective, there is a lot of room for promotion and growth. After learning to live with the epidemic, various experience exchange activities can be activated again.

Wine store and hostel. "The Brewery "SHUBOU" -Being Too Much Self-Sacrifice-"
