About KURAND new products
Anime Sake set
In collaboration with three popular Tatsunoko Productions anime works. This is an authentic Japanese sake that brings back memories of the classic anime during the 70’s such as “Yatterman,” “The Genie Family” and “Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
TEHAJIME
The typical alcohol content of sake is 16-18 degrees, but TEHAJIME is a sake for sake beginners with a low alcohol content of 8 degrees achieved by using a unique brewing method. In online stores in Japan, it is the most popular product among women and the first time sake drinkers.
Meat Lovers Only
This is the world’s best sake to go with meat, as recognized by restaurants specializing in meat dishes. This sake was created in collaboration with “29ON,” a high-end, member-only restaurant specializing in pairing low-temperature cooked meat and sake. By using a special manufacturing method, it has a complex and delicious flavor that is unbeatable with any meat.
Liquor Innovation’s effort
There are many sake breweries that are technologically proficient but have not yet gained market recognition. There are a variety of reasons for this, such as a decline in domestic consumption of sake, in lack of staff to run the family business, and limitations of the industry’s distribution system. In addition, historic sake breweries are closing down in recent years. In order to overcome this situation, Liquor Innovation has adopted a business model called “SPL” (*1), which covers everything from planning and production all the way to distribution and sales. To date, we have signed partnership agreements with about 60 breweries across Japan and have produced approximately 160 types of original products with them utilizing our SPL business model.
*The term SPA was used in the apparel industry, referring to a sales model that vertically integrates manufacturing to retailing. And SPL was developed by changing “apparel ” to “liquor”.
