*This product was created to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2009. "Issho Silver (Black)" used koji mold and yeast that have been cultivated and survived for 100 years since the company's establishment in honor of its 100-year history. On the other hand, "Issho Bronze (White)" was brewed using beer yeast as a new approach for the next 100 years. It was test-sold only in 720ml bottles for 3 months from November 2010 and officially launched for sale in August 2011, including 1-liter bottles. The number of products produced is limited, so only a limited number of retail stores nationwide handle it.
