<\/p>\r\n9.11 is approaching again this year. Since the horrific tragedy in 2001, the City of New York and New Yorkers have been fighting the difficulties and recovering from the incident.
\r\n Japan had the \bhorrible disaster in 2011, too. The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami caused serious damages to a large area in T\u014dhoku region.<\/p>\r\n
\r\n Rikuzentakata-city in Iwate-prefecture was one of them. Rikuzentakata is located \bapproximately 88 miles south from Ninohe-city in where Nanbubijin Brewery is. \bIn order for the recovery from the disaster, the people in T\u014dhoku have been working hard like New Yorkers. Today, we introduce a sake from Rikuzentakata-city.<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n
The sake is called “KIB\u014c” from Suisen Shuz\u014d Brewery. The word “kib\u014d” means “hope” in Japanese, the sake represents the hope of the people in T\u014dhoku.<\/p>\r\n
According to the brewery, they lost everything, even including seven workers, due to the earthquake and tsunami.<\/p>\r\n
Yet, they had never given up! The brewery rose from the rubble to create their first ever sake to be distributed to the U.S., and that is the KIB\u014c sake.<\/p>\r\n
