"Josen Kinkan Kono Sake" and "Nomonomo" series now available in a new 900ml slim pack for easy pouring and storage

We will be adding a 900ml slim pack container that is easy to pour and store to our flagship packaged sake "Josen Kinkan Kono Sake" series and the "Nomonomo" series, which has been a popular choice for sake with meals since its launch in 1985. These will be released in late February 2025.

The 900ml Slim Pack container is approximately 22% lighter and 1.5cm narrower than the previous model, making it easier to pour and store. This product also uses environmentally friendly FSC-certified paper (*1) and biomass ink (*2).

About "Konosake Premium Gold Crown"

This is our signature product, launched in 1978 with the idea of ​​"freeing sake from the 1.8L bottle," and was the pioneer of paper containers for sake.
The four essential elements for sake brewing - rice, water, climate, and traditional techniques - come together to create the rich flavor that is unique to Ozeki.
The sake is made using 100% carefully selected domestic rice. It has a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, and is a traditional Ozeki standard, making it a delicious sake that you will never tire of drinking.
It won the Gold Award in the Value Warm Sake Category at the National Hot Sake Contest 2022, which evaluates sake that tastes best when warmed, and the Grand Gold Award in the Value Warm Sake Category at the National Hot Sake Contest 2019.

Since its release in 1985, this product has been widely enjoyed across the country as a standard dinner table drink.
Using Ozeki's unique yeast and unique "new three-stage brewing" method, we have created a sake that has the flavor of rice but also a clean aftertaste.
Following its renewal in 2022, the sharpness was improved, and the taste has also been praised, winning a silver medal in the SAKE category of the Ordinary Sake category at the IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2024, one of the world's most prestigious blind tasting competitions, and the highest gold medal in the Value Hot Sake category at the National Hot Sake Contest 2023, which evaluates sake that is delicious when heated.
