    "Doshisha Dai Ginjo," an original sake, was created in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the voyage to the United States by Joseph Neesima, founder of Doshisha University. This is a joint project of Doshisha Enterprise, the university's business company, and Yamamoto Honke Co., Ltd., a sake brewery in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.

    Printed on the label are the characters for "Doshisha," calligraphed by Joseph, and a Chinese poem that he composed in Hong Kong, a port of call on his voyage. Also depicted is an illustration of the brig Berlin which he boarded in Hakodate.

    The sake has a light, refined flavor. A 720-mililiter bottle costs 1,944 yen. It is sold at Harris Science Hall of Doshisha University, in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto. For more information, call Doshisha Enterprise, at 075-251-3290.
