Description
Dedicated gift box for Kusawake and Hinata
This gift box holds a set of two 200mL bottles of Kusawake or Hinata.
Please add at least two bottles from the bottle product page to your cart. (The box cannot be sold on its own.)
The box is made of cedar, each one carefully finished by a craftsperson.
Thick paper on the front and a waxed cord seal give it a quietly refined finish.
Its understated look makes it welcome for all kinds of gift occasions.
When giving a set of Kusawake and Hinata, or two bottles of your favorite flavor, please order it together with the bottles.
*Fits only Kusawake's 200mL bottles.
*Bottles ordered on their own are shipped in simple packaging, without a box.
Without affectation, in an honest way,
we draw out and bring into harmony

A distinctive scent
A scent that works behind the scenes
A scent that links ingredients together
Each has its own character, and its own compatibility.
When they are a poor match, the scents cancel each other out and an unpleasant scent appears.
People are the same.
We want to spend time with people we get along with as much as possible.
An environment that needs us is best.
We apply this thinking to the combination of ingredients as well.
Consider the strengths and role of each.
Prepare the environment to bring out the intended scent.
Use only what is necessary.
The scent born from ingredients combined in this way is very beautiful.
There is a reason we place emphasis on scent.
It is the difference between “liquor” and “juice.”
It is not only the presence or absence of alcohol.
Liquor is a drink in which one enjoys the scent, while juice is a drink in which one enjoys the taste.
Of course juice has a scent too, but when drinking apple juice or grape juice,
“The acidity is just right,” “The light sweetness makes it easy to drink”
comments about taste, I think, account for most of what people say.
On the other hand, when drinking wine or whiskey,
“It smells like berries,” “The scent of the cask is distinct”
comments about scent are probably more common.
Here lies the clear difference between liquor and juice.
If we make a drink rich in scent, it should captivate people even without alcohol.
With that in mind, Kusawake is built around scent.
And there is one more crucial point.
Not trying to make it within an existing category.
We do not squeeze it into easy-to-explain categories such as craft cola or ginger ale.
We want to stay outside the realm of categories that are easy to convey to others, trends that anyone would like, and designs that anyone can understand, bound by no existing frame whatsoever, and create freely.
That is what we think.
Even without relying on trends or ease of understanding, if we make something delicious, there will surely be people who understand.
Even for a product whose nature is entirely unclear at first glance, Kusawake exists thanks to the customers who buy it and sense something in it.
A new-sensation drink to savor the scent

Of course it is lovely to enjoy at home, and it is also highly recommended as a gift. Seasonal limited flavors are also available.
