Special Sake
with Unique Tokkuri

“Special Sake with Unique Tokkuri” is a Japanese Sake subscription service
based on the “Kayoi-Tokkuri” culture prevalent during the Edo period.
During the Edo period in Japan,
people brought their own Tokkuri to the liquor stores and buying the amount of Sake they needed.
This “Kayoi-Tokkuri” culture is the perfect example of sustainability as it eliminates the use of disposable containers.

Seek the Story of Sake has redesigned the “Kayoi-Tokkuri” for the modern world and is providing it as a service
that allows international customers to “patronize (Kayoi)” Sake breweries in Japan.
