Currently considered to be the most expensive sake in Japan, it has become the finest sake because of the world’s first special container made out of pure titanium.

Of course, the sake in it is the best because it is the Shizuku sake from the North Sea.

Titanium containers are the best material for storing sake because they block light, and they have the property that they do not easily reach the inside even if there is a sudden temperature change outside, and they also have durability against damage and ultraviolet rays.
