IWAI SAKE brings Japan's celebratory drinking culture to the worlds ocrafted for your brand and your most meaningful moments.

Michael Carter craft strategic design

Iwai is a private-label drink producer based in Japan. We work with restaurants, hotels, wedding planners, and businesses around the world to create original branded drinks — sake, liqueur, craft beer, and gin — brewed at traditional Japanese breweries and delivered under your own label.

"Iwai" means celebration in Japanese. For centuries, the Japanese have marked life's most meaningful moments — weddings, new beginnings, and milestones — with a shared drink chosen with intention. We believe that tradition deserves a place at every table, in every country. Our mission is to introduce the world to quality Japanese drinks and the culture of celebrating with a bottle that truly means something.
