Content 5 | Sake Flea Original “ochokko” sake cup

Ultimately, the Sake Flea’s goal is to spread the love of Japanese sake. That includes sake-lovers of course, but also those who have never tasted sake before. Perhaps young people or foreign people — we want them all to try delicious Japanese sake, that is our goal. Furthermore we want people to experience this through design and playfulness, something that up until now has not been strongly associated with the sake world. That being said, we have our original “ochokko” sake cup in three different designs. Come and enjoy tasting Japanese sake with our ochokko in hand.

The concept behind the visual

“We want everyone to enjoy sake!”

When people drink Japanese sake, they can’t help but smile. From there, conversations are born, laughter is born, connections are born.We live in a beautiful age where the quality and ways of enjoying Japanese sake continue to progress and advance. Not just one group, we want more and more young people and foreigners who have never enjoyed sake before to be able to enjoy sake. We want to reach out to all kinds of people, create good times and make people smile. That is our hope, contained in this one image.

In this picture, we have all races, ages, occupations, animals and ghosts intermingling, all enjoying Japanese sake, music, dance and conversation.

At the Sake Flea, we work with that in mind. All kinds of people enjoying Japanese sake and having a good time. Bring your friends who have never tried Japanese sake before, and come on over to the Sake flea! We are excited to meet you!
