Sake That Listened to Bocchi the Rock Song Features Kikuri

Onkyo will start selling Japanese sake (Onikoroshi to be precise) featuring Kikuri Hiroi from Bocchi the Rock. The sake was matured while listening to SICK HACK’s “Watashi Dake Yuurei,” which was an insert song from the anime series.

You can get an Onikoro Cup Sake set for 2880 JPY ($18.90). This set will come with a 300 ml cup of sake that “listened” to “Watashi Dake Yuurei,” a 180 ml carton of normal Onikoroshi, and a cloth bag featuring Kikuri. Onkyo included two different types of Onikoroshi sake so you can compare the tastes. Something you want to keep in mind is that sake from a carton and sake from a cup already taste different. So if you think that the Bocchi the Rock sake tastes better, you should also consider the different container you’re drinking from.

According to Onkyo, a banana-like fragrance emerged from the sake during the fermentation process. This was quite interesting to them, as the yeast they used shouldn’t produce that kind of flavor. The end product has a sharp bitter flavor, yet remains refreshing. It believes that this is all thanks to the vibration technology it used during the process.

Other items you can get are:

• Apron: 3000 JPY
• Face towel: 1500 JPY
• Masu: 1000 JPY
• Tokkuri & ochoko (flask and small sake cup): 3000 JPY
• T-shirt: 2000 JPY

All of the items will appear on sale from August 2, 2024. While Onkyo does offer international shipping, you need to check to make sure if alcohol can even make it out of Japan and to your country.

Onkyo is a brand that specializes in lifestyle goods and alcohol. It’s known for its gimmick of aging alcohol while letting it “listen” to music. In the past, for example, it sold wines that listened to the soundtrack of NieR Automata Ver1.1a. The idea is that the soundwaves traveling through the liquid will impart a different depth or flavor profile.

Bocchi the Rock is readily available to watch on Crunchyroll. The sake that “listened” to “Watashi Dake Yuurei” from Bocchi the Rock will be available for purchase from August 2, 2024.
