About KURAND new products
Anime Sake set
In collaboration with three popular Tatsunoko Productions
anime works. This is an authentic Japanese sake that brings back memories of
the classic anime during the 70's such as "Yatterman," "The
Genie Family" and "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman.
TEHAJIME
The typical alcohol content of sake is 16-18 degrees, but
TEHAJIME is a sake for sake beginners with a low alcohol content of 8 degrees
achieved by using a unique brewing method. In online stores in Japan, it is the
most popular product among women and the first time sake drinkers.
Meat Lovers Only
This is the world's best sake to go with meat, as recognized
by restaurants specializing in meat dishes. This sake was created in
collaboration with "29ON," a high-end, member-only restaurant specializing
in pairing low-temperature cooked meat and sake. By using a special
manufacturing method, it has a complex and delicious flavor that is unbeatable
with any meat.
Liquor Innovation's effort
There are many sake breweries that are technologically
proficient but have not yet gained market recognition. There are a variety of
reasons for this, such as a decline in domestic consumption of sake, in lack of
staff to run the family business, and limitations of the industry's
distribution system. In addition, historic sake breweries are closing down in
recent years. In order to overcome this situation, Liquor Innovation has
adopted a business model called "SPL" (*1), which covers everything
from planning and production all the way to distribution and sales. To date, we
have signed partnership agreements with about 60 breweries across Japan and
have produced approximately 160 types of original products with them utilizing
our SPL business model.
*The term SPA was used in the apparel industry, referring to a sales model
that vertically integrates manufacturing to retailing. And SPL was developed by
changing "apparel " to "liquor".
About KURAND
The concept of KURAND is "A constant stream of
wonderful sake encounters". In the
future, we will form partnerships with sake breweries across Japan to
develop and sell original products, mainly sake, through an E-commerce service,
with the aim of becoming a platform that connects customers with sake breweries
nationwide. There are sake breweries that do not appear in the market due to
traditional distribution limitations, but they are working very hard in
crafting their own sake to produce a better product. We collaborate with them
from the beginning production process to marketing and sales of the products.
At KURAND, we value the "story" of each sake brewery and wish to
deliver to our customers through our directly managed stores, E-commerce
platform and our partnership restaurants.
