Only the cleanest, premium-grade sake and ultra-filtered water goes into the making of Smoothsail, the world's first-ever canned sparkling sake brand. With clean ingredients, zero sugar and zero sulfites, tannins and gluten (since it is made from Japanese rice wine,) Smoothsail appeals to adults who are looking for an easy-drinking alternative to their favorite canned beverages.
Launched by co-founder and Billboard #1 South Asian artist, Jay Sean, Smoothsail specifically speaks to wellness-focused, experience-loving Millennials and the brand is on a mission to demystify sake and make it both accessible and more widely available. The sparkling sake can be found in fun flavors like peach and berry, which feature the natural sweetness of a monk fruit and stevia extract blend.
