# Canned Cucumber Sakes The Cucumber-Infused TYKU Sake in a Can is Crisp, Smooth & Convenient By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-06-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sake-in-a-can References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tyku-introduces-cucumber-infused-sake-in-a-can-300875562.html) & [tykusake](http://www.tykusake.com) TYKU Sake, North America's top premium Japanese sake, recently introduced a new format for its product with sake in a can. The all-new [cucumber-infused sake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitinfused-sak) in a can boasts a drinking experience that's described as light, crisp, smooth and refreshing, offering a simple way for consumers to make the most of TYKU Cucumber Sake chilled or mixed into a cocktail. Much like [canned wine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/on-the-rocks-cans), these cans of sake have the potential to go where glass bottles cannot, including sites like picnics, concerts and festivals. In terms of size, the recyclable cans are offered in eight-ounce sizes that contain about the equivalent of "a full wine glass plus a small refill." As well as being flavorful and conveniently packaged, the new product will also appeal to consumers for its price, as a four-pack can be purchased for under $20. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Canned Sake:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of different flavor profiles and packaging designs for canned sake to cater to diverse consumer preferences. - **Convenience Packaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative packaging solutions that make it easy for consumers to enjoy their favorite beverages on-the-go, such as at picnics, concerts, and festivals. - **Affordable Premium Beverages:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new lines of affordable premium beverages that offer high-quality flavor experiences at a competitive price point. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcohol Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the trend of canned beverages and explore the production of unique and convenient alcoholic beverages, such as sake in a can. - **Packaging Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative packaging designs and materials that enhance the convenience and portability of various beverages, including sake. - **Beverage Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Capitalize on the rising demand for affordable premium beverages by offering a wide selection of high-quality products at competitive prices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Canned Sake Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakebomb.md) - [Canned Sake Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sake-drinks.md) - [Bubbly Canned Sakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summerfall.md) - [On-the-Go Canned Sake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesake.md) - [Lychee-Flavored Sake Spritzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-lychee-sake-spritz.md) - [Sake-Infused Yuzu Spritzes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-nothing.md) - [Sweet Sake Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-sake-wine.md) - [Low-Calorie Sake Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soke.md) - [Sake-Based Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oishii-sake-spritz.md)
