Gluten-Free Vegetarian Sakes

Nihonsakari Launched New Brand 'Sakari' And New Line of Sake Products

— November 30, 2021 — Marketing
Nihonsakari is a 130-year-old Japanese sake retailer that has rebranded to the name 'Sakari' and launched five preservative-free, gluten-free vegetarian sake products in several countries. The five sake products are named 'Junmai Daiginjo Sake,' 'Daiginjo Sake,' 'Junmai Ginjo Sake,' 'Junmai Sake,' and 'Yuzu Sake.' They vary in tastes from rich rice flavors to delicate fruity flavors. The ABV ranges from 8% to 16%, which appeals to a wide array of sake fans.

The Sakari label will vary from the original Nihosakari label, as Sakari products now host visual designs inspired by traditional Japanese themes. The release of five sake products was not a random number, nor was it limited to the number of available flavors. Five sake products were released because when five sake glasses meet in a toast, they create a sakura flower pattern, which is integral to Japanese culture.
