The origin of sake, the alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran, is unclear because it predates recorded history. Often referred to as Japanese rice wine, this alcoholic beverage is delicious and customarily varies in serving temperature making for a delightful drink no matter the season or occasion.
Grand Deluxe created the packaging design for Japanese Sake Mt. Ishizuchi. The label was printed on fragile and thing folded paper, and the design uses characteristics that represent rice and water. The ragged edge at the top of the label represents Mt. Ishizuchi which is cherished as a sacred mountain. Keeping the color hues to a simplistic white and silver palette continues the regalness of the drink and symbolizes the snowy season in which sake is brewed.
