    The aim is to broaden the fan base of refined sake, and stimulate the motivation to enjoy it with a sense of fun. Joint development of products began from last year.

    The bottled refined sake, "O-choko de Nihonshu," has a plastic cap that can be used as a sake cup. There are three kinds, from a "tanrei" crispy, dry to sweet sake for beginners, to a super-dry for the experienced. A 180 ml bottle costs 281 yen.

    "Ringo-aji no Utakata," a liquor consisting of carbonated refined sake with fruit juice, is being released in a bottle decorated with pictures of apple flowers and fruit. The bottle can be used as a vase afterwards. A 305 ml bottle costs 513 yen.

    The new products will be available in supermarkets and department stores across the country.
