About Jo Chu 나오라이 조추

나오라이는 열을 가하지 않는 증류 방식으로 사케 본연의 풍미를 유지한 새로운 형태의 사케를 창조했습니다. 일본 문화의 깊이와 고요함을 표현하기 위해 신성한 영역을 상징하는 "시데"(종이 장식)를 활용했습니다. 사케의 아름다움을 표현하기 위해 Nosigner는 표면장력으로 형성된 물풍선의 형태를 따라가며, 정제된 물방울이 떨어지는 순간을 형상화했습니다.

Unique Properties
Sake has been connected to the faith of Japanese people since ancient times and is treated as an entity connecting people and the Gods. It is an essential and crucial aspect when discussing the culture of our country.
Therefore, we incorporated the "shīde" (paper streamers), a motif representing the essence of Shinto prayers, onto the bottle shape that recreates the natural form produced by the surface tension of the liquid, capturing the moment when a drop of purified alcohol falls.
Dimensions & Packaging
11cm x 11cm x 25.5cm/Outer dimensions of box
Design Challenge
We aimed to design a bottle with a clear concept, reflecting the shape of water, so there were very few difficulties in the design process. However, because the bottle is organic and asymmetrical, there were various challenges for the manufacturing company.
Inspiration
We created a new form of sake by distilling it without heat, allowing the flavor of the sake to remain intact.
To represent the depth and tranquility of Japanese culture, "shīde" (paper streamers) are used to help connote a sacred area.
To express the beauty of the sake, we traced the shape of a water-filled balloon created by surface tension and to express the moment when purified water droplets fall.
We created a design identity that communicates the new possibilities of sake to the world.
