From the "Monomo" series comes a summer-only flavor with enhanced aroma thanks to its "sake highball"! "Monomo Ryokagura Shibori 2L Boxed" will be released for a limited time and in limited quantities.
From our "Nomonomo" series, which has been a long-time favorite as a beverage to be enjoyed with meals since its launch in 1985, we will be releasing "Nomonomo Ryokagura Shibori 5L Boxed Set," a refreshing sake whose aroma is enhanced when mixed with soda (sake mixed with carbonated water), for a limited time and quantity starting May 25, 2026 (Monday).

■ About "Nomono Ryokazo Shibori 2L Boxed"
In recent years, "Sake Highballs" (sake mixed with sparkling water in a 1:1 ratio) have become a popular new way to enjoy sake in the summer. "Nomonomo Ryokagura Shibori 2L Boxed" was developed to meet this demand for sake highballs, allowing you to easily enjoy it at your everyday dinner table. While retaining the clean aftertaste of "Nomonomo," the sake has been refined to bring out its fruity aroma even more when mixed into a sake highball, as well as when served chilled or on the rocks. When mixed with sparkling water, it offers a bright, refreshing aroma reminiscent of ramune soda and a light sweetness, making for a pleasant drinking experience with the invigorating sensation of carbonation. Adding a squeeze of lemon or lime to taste will give it an even more refreshing flavor.
■About the package design
Based on a cool, refreshing light blue color, the design features the auspicious Seven Lucky Gods, the brand motif of "Nomonomo," which symbolizes the wish for good fortune to be brought to the dining table, along with illustrations that evoke summer, such as fans, waves, and fireworks, creating a refreshing summer atmosphere.

"Nomonomo" is a brand that has been loved for many years as a staple sake on the dinner table since its launch in 1985. In the 2022 renewal, Ozeki's unique yeast and a new three-stage brewing method were used to further pursue a crisp taste. It has achieved a clean aftertaste while retaining the umami of rice. Its quality and taste have been highly praised at domestic and international competitions, and it won a silver medal in the SAKE category, regular sake category at the "IWC (International Wine Challenge) 2024," one of the world's leading blind tasting competitions. Furthermore, it won the highest gold prize in the value-for-money hot sake category at the "National Hot Sake Contest 2023," recognizing the certainty of its quality. From 2024, the brand concept "Nomonomo, drink and good fortune will come" has been adopted, and the message of "the joy of drinking" and "bringing good fortune" is being conveyed through campaigns and social media.
