May 16th, 2025 — The American sake renaissance just got a sparkling new upgrade. Launching this month, Oishii Sake—the brand that has already made waves with its fresh take on a centuries-old beverage—introduces the Oishii Sake Spritz, an all-natural, better-for-you canned cocktail crafted in the United States using premium sake and inspired by Japanese brewing mastery.
Clean, crisp, and canned with care, the Oishii Sake Spritz is available in four refreshing flavor profiles—Mango Yuzu, Watermelon Lime, Lychee Lemon, and Coconut Lemongrass—each offering a subtly layered drinking experience that feels as effortless as it is refined. With zero added sugar, less than 3 grams of carbs, and only 6% ABV per 12 oz. can, the Spritz is as easy on the palate as it is on the conscience. Gluten-free, kosher, and sweetened with monk fruit rather than artificial additives, it checks all the boxes for modern drinkers who demand both flavor and transparency.
A Modern Classic: Sake for a New Generation
Oishii, which means “delicious” in Japanese, is more than a name—it’s a philosophy. The brand fuses centuries-old techniques with American craftsmanship, producing sake that’s brewed, fermented, and packaged in the U.S. with uncompromising standards. The Spritz joins an existing lineup that includes Oishii Cloudy Junmai (Nigori) and Oishii Clear Junmai—750ml expressions beloved for their crisp profiles of pear, melon, banana, and rice-driven umami.
The new Spritz series builds on that legacy, but with a format and flavor expression that speaks directly to the rhythm of contemporary life. Priced at $5 per can or $20 for a mixed four-pack, the Oishii Sake Spritz is available for online presale and at select retailers in Florida, New York, Georgia, and California—with a national expansion on the horizon.
A Sake-Based Spritz with Clean Credentials
What sets the Oishii Sake Spritz apart isn’t just what’s in it—it’s what’s not. There are no sulfates, no artificial sweeteners, and no sugar-laden syrups to dull the flavor. Each can is made with pure Blue Ridge Mountain water and Titan Rice sourced from Arkansas, an ingredient blend that anchors the product’s sense of place and purity.
“The Oishii Sake Spritz gives the modern drinker a consciously made drink alternative, rooted in craftsmanship and powered by clean, premium ingredients. We have created a great alternative to ready to drink cocktails by giving consumers something naturally delicious, with zero added sugar and an elevated aesthetic that mirrors what’s great on the inside with a beautifully designed exterior.”
Buzzy Sklar, CEO of Kintsugi Sake LLC
Designed to Go Where Summer Goes
Whether enjoyed straight from the can or poured over ice, the Oishii Sake Spritz is intentionally versatile. It’s the kind of cocktail that slips seamlessly into just about any setting—picnics, rooftops, poolside afternoons, or long beach days. Each flavor profile was developed to be both standalone and food-friendly, making it a thoughtful companion for everything from light sushi bites to grilled seafood and summer salads.
For those with a taste for luxury, the Oishii portfolio also includes the high-end Kintsugi Sake—priced at $400—crafted for connoisseurs who seek a deeper, more contemplative sip.
As the ready-to-drink cocktail space matures, the Oishii Sake Spritz presents a new benchmark: thoughtful, premium, and refreshingly modern. It's sake made simple—but never ordinary. For those looking to sip with intention this summer, Oishii delivers the ultimate blend of tradition, taste, and ease.
