IPPO

Boken IPPO is sake born beyond Earth, crafted with one of the world’s first space yeasts, sent to the International Space Station for ten days while orbiting 400 kilometers above the planet.  Forged in zero gravity and impossible odds, it encapsulates the spirit of adventure (BŌKEN) in every sip.

*SMV is an acronym of “Sake Meter Value.” The SMV number denotes whether a sake is sweet or dry by assigning it a negative or positive value. Generally speaking, the more negative the value, the sweeter the sake, and the more positive the value, the drier the sake.
