Donguri Sora Presents the New Porco Rosso Sake Set

— June 1, 2025 — Lifestyle
Donguri Sora, which is the official Ghibli retailer, has just launched the special Porco Rosso sake set which brings a sense of nostalgia to the table. It is launching just in time for Father's Day and brings attention back to the iconic 1992 anime classic. The collectible drinkware comes with a sake bottle and a cup to match.

It is designed with the spirit of the film, detailed with illustrations of the iconic red seaplane from Porco -- the Savoia S.21. It also features a playful touch by turning a pig's snout into a sake cup. It highlights the studio's fine attention to detail with the Italian phrase" This is what it means to be cool" also printed on the bottle as a narrative of Porco Rosso.
