With this venture, DrinksOne Brands continues its commitment to delivering excellence and innovation within the beverage sector.
Sake ONO launched in April 2024 with their first proprietary blend, a Junmai Daiginjo, the highest grade of Sake requiring utmost precision and expertise and brewed by the industry-renowned Yoshi No Gawa brewery in Niigata, Japan, which has been in operation since 1548. This partnership represents the first time the brewery has worked with an American organization.

At DrinksOne, we pride ourselves on curating a portfolio of ultra-premium brands that push boundaries and redefine categories, and Sake ONO is the perfect addition. Its blend of Japanese artistry and modern innovation exemplifies the quality and sophistication that we strive to deliver to our on-trade partners and consumers. We look forward to working closely with the Sake ONO team to establish this remarkable brand as a staple within the UK’s beverage landscape.”
Sake ONO is made with just four premium, locally-sourced ingredients: rice, water, yeast, and koji. The initial expression from the brand features an irresistible blend of honeydew, lemon peel, white floral and green apple notes with umami undertones. The dry finish makes Sake ONO a perfect ingredient in cocktails or excellent served neat in a chilled white wine glass.
As the exclusive UK distributor for Sake ONO, DrinksOne Brands will leverage its extensive distribution network, marketing expertise, and industry knowledge to introduce Sake ONO into the UK market. Through collaborative efforts, both companies aim to elevate the Sake landscape, offering the on-trade and consumers unparalleled choices and memorable brand experiences.
