Sake in a Can...Not what you think.

Saké in a can is definitely not as romantic as the 300ml or 720ml glass bottles we are all used to seeing at restaurants.
But don't let the packaging fool you.
There is a reason to this madness.
Kikusui Shuzo "Funaguchi" Honjozo Saké is a star in it's own right.
Being un-pasteurized, this draft style saké needed a special container to preserve all its natural freshness and flavors. After years of trial and error this plastic lined can was perfected.
Commuters jumping on the trains in Tokyo grab this cutie to unwind on the trip home. And at 19%, it has a slightly higher alcohol content than most sakés.
Being a Honjozo, the aromas and flavors have been enhanced by the addition of a small amount of distilled alcohol.
Always keep refrigerated and served chilled.
