The Design

About Jo Chu NAORAI JOCHU

Naorai je kreirao novu formu sakea destilovanjem bez toplote, omogućavajući da ukus sakea ostane netaknut. Kako bi se predstavila dubina i spokojstvo japanske kulture, koriste se „shide" (papirne trake) koje pomažu u evociranju svetog prostora. Kako bi se izrazila lepota sakea, Nosigner je pratio oblik balona napunjenog vodom stvorenog površinskim naponom i evocirao trenutak kada prečišćene kapi vode padaju.

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.
