About Edosai
Edosai is a distinct sake born from the collaboration of two historic breweries: Matsuoka Brewing Co., with over 130 years of history in Saitama (known for the brand "Teimatsu"), and Konda Sake Brewing Co., which has been operational since the Edo period (known for the brand "Naomitsu"). This unique blend combines Matsuoka’s robust and well-structured sake made from water sourced from the Chichibu mountain range with Konda’s softer, fuller flavor profile nurtured by the local Kumagaya environment. By harmonizing their individual strengths through years of tradition and craftsmanship, the breweries have created a sake that is exceptional in quality and depth.
Inclusive Art on the Label
The bottle label of Edosai features the artwork of Hirokazu Hamada, an artist from the ‘Himawari Park Roppommatsu’ welfare facility in Fukuoka. His vibrant and innovative color schemes provide an unconfined artistic expression that enhances the rich world of sake, adding a new layer of “color” to the drinking experience. This initiative aims to create an inclusive atmosphere that embraces diverse expressions, allowing drinkers to explore an extraordinary sake while gifting a meaningful representation of thoughts and emotions.

Background of the Collaboration with TOKYO SAKE BASE
TOKYO SAKE BASE, managed by Vesper Corporation, is based in Ginza, Chuo Ward, Tokyo. The brand addresses the challenge that even delicious sake may go unchosen if it remains unknown. Operating without a physical store, it focuses on experiential events and e-commerce, pioneering new ways to deliver sake to consumers. Moreover, Vesper Corporation is committed to supporting craft producers and creating a future where both creators and drinkers find happiness. By combining product planning and world-building from Shikyo Co. with the experiential sales and customer engagement from TOKYO SAKE BASE, this collaboration creates a multifaceted sales experience that elevates the appeal of sake in bustling department stores and commercial spaces.
Comments from Vesper Corporation
On the Launch: “We firmly believe that even the best sake needs visibility to be chosen. Edosai is a product of two traditional breweries coming together for the first time, representing a story worth telling. The addition of welfare art initiatives makes it not only about taste but also about conveying philosophies and narratives. We see TOKYO SAKE BASE as a facilitator that creates opportunities for consumers to encounter new sake and for creators to connect with their audiences.”
This limited-time sale represents a beautiful convergence of tradition, creativity, and experience, and we hope it fosters new relationships between drinkers and the exquisite world of sake.
