In addition, a special edition of Gojoin was sold at the Buried Cultural Property Center and the Municipal History Museum to commemorate the establishment of Takada on July 5th. 

Additional special editions of Gojoin will be released on three occasions: August 22nd for the Kenshin Festival, October 23rd for the Echigo / Kenshin SAKE Festival, and January next year to commemorate the birth of Kenshin Uesugi.  This “Gojoin” will become available on January 21st.
