This is reflected in orders from our clients for non-mass produced, Artisan Sake with brand traditional stories.
More recently we have seen a big increase in our IBC sake and private label sake as the demand for building your own brand Sake and the RTD market grows
To support our clients and increase your sales of Sake we have developed a range of marketing tools and Sake data sheets for customers, shelves, counters menus, etc. See our trade tools page
