One Cups
Single-serving sake in its own glass. The cup is the packaging, the label is the art.
カップ酒
What is kappuzake?
Kappuzake (カップ酒) is sake sold in the glass you drink it from — usually 180 ml, sealed with a peel-back cap. Ozeki launched the first "One Cup" in 1964, aimed at train commuters, and every brewery followed. The empty cup was always meant to be kept: breweries hire real illustrators for the labels, and collecting them is half the point.
No tools required — drink it chilled, or stand the whole cup in hot water for a few minutes and you've made okan. The dot scale under each cup is our 5-step house read: 1 is bone dry, 5 is dessert.

Dry & clean

Cloudy & soft
