Celebrating Diners Club Japan's 65th Anniversary

In December 2025, Diners Club Japan will proudly celebrate its 65th anniversary, and to mark this special occasion, the company is launching a unique project centered around "Food, Art, and Music." This initiative aims to highlight collaborations between emerging talents and provide memorable experiences for members.

One of the key highlights is the release of a limited edition sake, a collaboration between the youngest female toji (master brewer), Nanami Watanabe, and Ayaka Nishikata, the youngest certified traditional crafts artist in Tochigi Prefecture. This commemorative sake, named Hakurakusei Junmai Daiginjo, features a delicate aroma and a refined taste that showcases the quality of rice used in its production.

Details of the Sake

• - Volume: 720ml
• - Polishing Ratio: 39%
• - Alcohol Content: 15%
• - Producer: Shinzo Brewery, Miyagi Prefecture

The design of the sake label is equally special, featuring original artwork created by Ayaka Nishikata, who is known for her vibrant textile art style that blends traditional techniques with contemporary flair. It’s an exquisite representation of the talents of these two women who are redefining Japanese culture and craftsmanship.
