【Atarashii Mead Vol. 1】

"I want something easy to understand that can explain mead." This was the inspiration behind "Atarashii Mead Vol. 1," a textbook-style ZINE about mead.
It is a volume packed with passion, totaling 30 pages including the cover. We’ve kept it simple, while still capturing the exciting aspects of mead.

【ZINE】
A self-published publication issued by an individual or a small group of volunteers.

〈Table of Contents〉
step 1. Basic
- Mead history, production methods, honey types, styles, and differences from other alcoholic beverages

step 2. Advance

Whether you include it with a gift, display it alongside a bottle of mead, or spark a conversation when friends ask, "What’s that book?" and enjoy some mead talk—this is our own take on a textbook that’s sure to be full of fun.

We hope it evokes a "slightly nostalgic" feeling for every generation.
