Uma Musume Pretty Derby<\/a><\/strong><\/em> continues to expand its merchandise universe in ways no other franchise quite manages, this time entering the world of real alcoholic beverages. A collaboration between the mobile game<\/a> and Japanese distillery Tentaka Shuzo<\/strong> has produced the \u201cTokai Teio Hachimii no Osake\u201d<\/strong>, a honey sake inspired by the iconic drink of Tokai Teio<\/strong> \u2014 the \u201chachimii\u201d \u2014 set for release on June 23<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The product is an official collaboration between Uma Musume Pretty Derby<\/strong><\/em> and Tentaka Shuzo<\/strong> (\u5929\u9df9\u9152\u9020), a Japanese distillery known for its high-quality artisanal sake. The result is a mead<\/strong>, or honey sake, made with 100% Japanese honey<\/strong> and sake yeast, designed to capture the characteristic sweetness and fresh aroma that define the character of Tokai Teio<\/strong> within the game.<\/p>\n

Bottled at 720ml<\/strong> with an alcohol content of 6%<\/strong>, the drink is accessible even to those who do not typically consume strong alcohol. It comes with exclusive original packaging<\/strong> that combines the image of Tokai Teio<\/strong> with the aesthetic of the \u201chachimii,\u201d the character\u2019s signature beverage within Uma Musume<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The official price is \u00a55,390 yen<\/strong> (approximately $35 USD), and sales begin on Tuesday, June 23, at 3:00 PM Japan<\/a> time<\/strong> through the official Tentaka Shuzo website.<\/p>\n

What Is Mead and Why Is It the Perfect Choice for This Collaboration?<\/h2>\n

Mead, known in Japanese as \u201chachimitsu sake\u201d or \u8702\u871c\u9152, is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in human history, predating both wine and beer. It appears in Norse mythology, medieval epic poems, and historical records across multiple cultures as the drink of gods and warriors.<\/p>\n

In Japan, mead remains virtually unknown outside the most specialized enthusiast circles, which makes this collaboration a rare opportunity: it is not merely Uma Musume<\/em> merchandise, but a gateway to a beverage with centuries of history that the majority of the Japanese fandom has never tasted.<\/p>\n

The connection to Tokai Teio<\/strong> is not arbitrary either. The \u201chachimii,\u201d a honey-based drink that the character consumes constantly in the game, plays a central role in the personality and iconography of the character. Translating that into a real-world beverage carries a narrative coherence that the fandom will immediately appreciate.<\/p>\n
