■ About "Ozeki Amazake 190g Bottle"

"Ozeki Amazake 190g Bottle" is a long-selling product that was launched in 1974 and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024.

This amazake (sweet rice drink) is made using carefully selected sake lees from our Nada brewery, and features a mellow flavor with a harmonious blend of gentle sweetness from sugar and honey and the aroma of ginger. Its smooth texture and easy finish have made it a favorite among customers of all ages.

We express our deepest gratitude to all our customers who have enjoyed this product for half a century since its launch.

Shipments from our company have ended, and sales will end once store stock runs out.

 

■ About the future

Due to the discontinuation of this product, we are now offering "Ozeki Amazake 125ml Carton Can" as a successor product.

This product is a sake lees amazake developed to meet the needs of new customers, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the release of "Ozeki Amazake." In addition to the sake lees carefully selected by the brewery, honey and ginger are used as accents, resulting in a refreshing taste while maintaining the long-loved flavor.

Furthermore, the packaging retains the traditional Chinese-style design with red lettering, preserving the brand image, while the adoption of a lightweight, easy-to-dispose-of paper carton container achieves both convenience and environmental friendliness.

We will continue to support our customers' lives by providing safe, reliable, and attractive products.
