Logo and Pattern
The logo incorporates a hexagon symbolizing snow and a circle symbolizing a plum blossom, as the term “koshi no kanbai” refers to a plum variety that endures the cold winter to blossom in the early spring. The logo is altered from an existing font to visualize the crisp, clear flavor of the sake. The pattern derives from Kameda-go, a village surrounded by two rivers.

Ichirin Itteki
Ichirin Itteki is a daiginjo (highest grade) sake celebrating Ishimoto Sake Brewery’s 110th anniversary, with a limited edition of 3900 bottles produced. The label utilizes gloss foil stamping and embossing to instill a firm core and a silent beauty through a seemingly understated design, embodying Ishimoto Sake Brewery’s philosophy of “bold yet delicate” for this exquisite sake made with all of the brewery’s skill and passion.

Sai
Sai is the first new sake from Ishimoto Sake Brewery in 40 years. The vibrant blue bottle and the asagi (traditional Japanese teal color) label exemplify the flavor of this fresh and light sake created for a young audience. A newspaper ad and pamphlet were created to accompany its release.

Umeshu
Like the traditional sake, the package design of Umeshu plum liquor evokes the identity of Koshi no Kanbai. The box and label are crafted to evoke the fragrant spring colors of the season, and are adorned with silver plum blossoms that evoke the glamour and dignity befitting Koshi no Kanbai.

Otsu-Shochu
Born from the search for the ideal sake, Ishimoto Sake Brewery’s authentic Otsu-Shochu is intended to be “the distilled spirit of the world.” The design embodies the belief that “truly good sake transcends nationality and culture to enrich people’s lives,” and can be seen through the powerful and dignified appearance that has come to represent Koshi no Kanbai.
