[B132] Yukiotoko Junmai Cup 雪男 純米酒カップ 青木酒造 新潟県 180ml

Japan’s greatest invention

Cupzaké (Cup saké) is one of Japan’s greatest inventions. You can enjoy it anytime, anywhere, either chilled or warmed (simply place the cup in hot water). It’s incredibly easy to carry, requiring no glassware or bottle openers—just pop the lid and enjoy. At a perfect single-serve size of 180ml, if you find yourself wanting more, you can simply open a second cup! The glass can also be washed and reused.

A Part of Life and Culture

It is no exaggeration to say that cupzaké is woven into the fabric of daily life in Japan. A classic Japanese travel experience is enjoying a regional specialty bento box or local snacks paired with cupzaké on a long-distance train. It is a must-try when you visit Japan. Fortunately, here in Hong Kong, there are no restrictions against drinking alcohol on the street or outdoors. With this cupzaké, you can enjoy casual outdoor drinking even more freely!

Fine Quality in a Cup

Some may occasionally associate cupzaké, Kanzaké (warmed saké), or Al-ten (alcohol-added saké) with low-quality liquor. However, this is a misconception. Rest assured, the saké we select breaks all these stereotypes, and this Yukiotoko Cup is a prime example of exceptional quality.

"Yukiotoko" (meaning "Snow Monster") is another exceptional label from Aoki Shuzou, crafted in a dry style. It focuses on the pure umami of rice and a sharp, clean finish. This Junmai-shu is made from 100% Miyama-Nishiki rice with a polishing rate of 60%. Excellent served both chilled and warmed.
