The disaster claimed approximately 6,400 lives, left over 40,000 people injured, and led to the widespread destruction of buildings and infrastructure. Kobe Shushinkan Brewery was also severely impacted, with its facilities and equipment destroyed. Amid an uncertain future, the brewery\u2019s ability to rebuild was made possible through unwavering determination and community support. The release of \u201cFUKUJU Memories of Tomorrow,\u201d a sake that survived the shattering disaster, marks this milestone with a reflection on resilience and hope for a brighter future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-1536x1063.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/4206c25ff5b33e0d7047b2048e0a7039-2048x1417.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Condition of the Brewery Right After the Earthquake<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26196\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1783\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-1536x1070.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/cd6eebf900b4dc67f54a5c46985de444-2048x1426.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Condition of the Brewery Right After the Earthquake<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>\u226aProduct Features\u226b<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nName: FUKUJU Memories of Tomorrow (Japanese name: \u798f\u5bff\u3000\u5fa9\u8208\u306e\u4e00\u6ef4)<br \/>\nType: Daiginjo<br \/>\nVolume: 720ml<br \/>\nAlcohol Content: 17%<br \/>\nKey Features:<br \/>\n\u30fbCrafted using <em>Yamada Nishiki<\/em>, the finest sake rice from Hyogo Prefecture, polished to a high degree to extract its full potential.<br \/>\n\u30fbBrewed in December 1994, just one month before disaster struck, this sake has aged for over 30 years at low temperatures, developing a complex, mature flavor profile with rich, deep aromas and a smooth, refined finish.<br \/>\n\u30fbA one-of-a-kind sake to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, embodying the community&#8217;s resilience and a hopeful prayer for the future.<br \/>\n\u30fbEach bottle is numbered, making it truly unique<br \/>\n\u30fbPresented in elegant packaging, designed to complement the exclusivity of the sake.<br \/>\n\u30fbLimited Edition: 5 bottles<br \/>\n\u30fbPrice: 1,000,000 JPY (tax included)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26246\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1326\" height=\"1768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-5.jpg 1326w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-5-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shushinkan.co.jp\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-5-1152x1536.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1326px) 100vw, 1326px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>FUKUJU Memories of Tomorrow<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><strong>\u226aFuture Outlook\u226b<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThrough \u201cFUKUJU Memories of Tomorrow,\u201d Kobe Shushinkan Brewery aims to preserve the memories of the earthquake while expressing gratitude for the efforts that have supported recovery.
