Sake To Taste The Japan's Native

What are we doing?


Most sake comes in 720 ml, which can seem like a lot for people who are not used to drinking sake, and the fact that glass bottles require more care in delivery and storage is also a bottleneck in their popularisation. There is a lack of variety in small-volume sake, and even if people are interested in sake, they may not know where to start drinking it or understand the terminology. KURA ONE® is a sake brand that solves these problems and also overcomes the language barrier of not understanding Japanese.


KURA ONE®は、国内外で受賞歴をもつ酒蔵の代表銘柄のみを厳選し、少量(180ml)、軽量(196g)、コンパクト(9.9cm)で、破損リスクが少なく日本酒を劣化させる紫外線を100%遮断しリサイクル率が高いアルミ容器に詰め替えました。


KURA ONE®は、日本の地域の個性を味わう日本酒です。酒米の違いや原酒、バナナやリンゴの香りなどテーマに沿ってグループ化し、日本酒の楽しみ方を提案します。ラベルデザインは日本語が分からない人のために銘柄名を再編集して英語とローマ字で表記しました。また、飲む前から味わいを理解できる味わいチャート (酒蔵が記入)や、醸造蔵がある地域を学べるページへのリンクなど日本酒の理解を深める工夫を盛り込みました。


The line-up of brands will be further increased in the future. KURA ONE® will change "Unreachable" into "Deliverable", and we hope you will enjoy the fine sake from the Japanese climate.

Sake To Taste The Japan's Native


Sake is an alcohol made from rice, rice malt and water. The ingredients are simple, but the taste and aroma are surprisingly diverse. The reason for this is that each region produces its own unique sake through a combination of different soils and water, as well as the particular brewing techniques and traditions of the brewers.


The KURA ONE® team respects sake not only as an alcoholic drink, but also as a special delicacy that allows you to taste the individuality of the regions of Japan.

Only representative brands of award-winning breweries


KURA ONE® is a sake that lets you taste the individuality of Japan's native - and the KURA ONE® team doesn't just think any sake will do. We want people to be impressed beyond their expectations, to experience the fine taste of sake and to feel "Wow!".


KURA ONE® has set the policy that only representative brands from award-winning sake breweries in Japan and abroad. The KURA ONE® team takes responsibility, mission and pride in showing people how to enjoy Japanese sake.

The best sake in excellent containers


Even if the best brands are found, if they are not delivered properly, the quality of the liquor will deteriorate. There are many factors that can cause deterioration, one of which is UV radiation. Sake, like beer and wine, is particularly vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, even among brewed alcoholic beverages.


紫外線は、直射日光、蛍光灯、白熱灯から発します。瓶に色がついているのはこの紫外線リスクを軽減するための工夫です。アルミ容器はこの紫外線を100%遮断します。KURA ONE®チームはアルミ容器を「上質な日本酒を運搬する優れた容器」と考え、採用しています。

3つのカテゴリーの日本酒缶

For those who do not understand Japanese / are not familiar with Japanese sake


The Japanese sake market has become more and more difficult to access due to reasons such as "I don't understand Japanese," "I don't understand technical terms," and "I can't identify the sake just by its brand name." The KURA ONE® team wants to expand the opportunities for people to get hold of quality sake. We are working to create an environment that makes it easy to pick up a bottle by incorporating KURA ONE®'s unique naming rules and design layout.


English and Roman characters, a taste chart that allows you to grasp the flavour even before you drink it, and design rules that make even multiple brands look like a family. Enjoy the KURA ONE® tricks from a branding approach.

Drinking for surprise and fun


Can I mix sake with sparkling water?" Can I mix more than one brand? 'Do sake and chocolate go together?'


There are many ways to enjoy sake that go beyond the norm. KURA ONE® is small in volume, so discover different ways to drink different brands.

Video linking the region


KURA ONE® is a sake that tastes the regions of Japan. The focus is on what kind of region the sake is made in, who makes it and whether it is loved by the local community.


KURA ONE® is a short video (KURA ONE®Trip) that shows the local character of the brewery where the brewery's brand was born. The challenge is to convey this as a new value.
