Naturally-derived blue sake "Seiran" is now on sale at the Village Vanguard Online Store. It comes in 500ml (16.91us fl oz) and costs 2,190 yen (tax included).

"Blue indigo" is a new type of blue ginjo sake that is very rare in the long history of sake. It is made by adding a blue natural herb called butterfly pea to authentic ginjo sake. Uses Yamada Nishiki from Shiga Nagahama. A mellow and fruity ginjo sake with a rice polishing rate of 60%.


It has a bright blue color, but it is 100% naturally derived. It has a slightly purplish and transparent indigo color, which is different from the artificial blue color. Fascinated by the indescribable beauty, it seems to bring healing to the evening drink time.

Butterfly pea is tasteless and odorless, so the taste is authentic sake itself. It is said that the taste is convincing even for sake lovers.

If you add a citrus extract such as lemon to "Seiai", the color will change to lilac. It has a strong taste of sake, but with just a little citrus juice, it becomes a refreshing and easy-to-drink sake.


It is recommended to drink Seiai cold. It is also perfect for sake cocktails such as "Samurai Rock", which are made by adding lemon or lime juice to sake.

"Blue Samurai Rock" puts ice in a glass and mixes indigo and lemon or lime juice in a ratio of 8: 1 to 10: 1. "Blue Samurai Mojito" is made by adding mint and carbonated water to the ingredients of the samurai cocktail in the desired amount. "Blue & Green Tea Sake Cocktail" is a mixture of pure indigo and green tea that has been darkened with water at a ratio of about 1: 1. Enjoy your favorite arrangement.
