Discover the New SHUWAN Glass for Sake Enjoyment

The world of sake is about to be transformed with the debut of the SHUWAN Glass, a new creation designed for maximum aroma and flavor enjoyment. Developed by SHUWAN Inc., based in Fukuoka City, Japan, this innovative product is a response to the positive reception of their previous Makuake project in 2024, and it’s set to take Japan's traditional beverage experience to the next level. Set to launch on December 23, 2025, this pre-order opportunity is available exclusively through the “Makuake” crowdfunding platform.

A New Era of Sake Enjoyment

The SHUWAN brand has revolutionized the way we appreciate sake by encouraging drinkers to experience its intricate flavors and fragrances in a holistic manner. Unlike conventional sake cups or wine glasses, the SHUWAN design seeks to unveil the delicate allure of sake and connects sake breweries, artisans, chefs, and enthusiasts from around the globe.

With the SHUWAN Glass, the essence of sake’s hidden flavors and aromas are expressed through the medium of glass, facilitating a unique drinking experience.

An Immersive Visual Experience

One of the standout features of the SHUWAN Glass is its ability to showcase the true colors of sake. The clarity of its glass construction allows drinkers to appreciate the subtle nuances of fermentation, the light turbidity of young sake, and the rich golden hues that come from aging. This Makuake initiative even includes a special sake blend created exclusively by Abe Shuzō to enhance this visual journey.

Layers of Flavor and Aroma

The SHUWAN Glass brings forth a delightful combination of flavors. Utilizing both yellow and white koji, the glass accentuates the rich umami and sweetness of the yellow koji, alongside the creamy, light acidity characteristic of the white koji. Fermented separately and blended at the end, these components harmonize to create a unique flavor profile that reflects the modern touch of Abe Shuzō's craftsmanship. This merging results in an exquisite balance, marked by a clean finish and an enjoyable aftertaste.
