{"title":"The Cup of Life - 6 Sakes Served In Their Own Gift Cup","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most historical and popular ways to “dispense” sake in Japan was invented by a company called Ozeki, which made the very famous Ozeki One Cup. This sake, which was coin-machine dispensed, was made of regular or “Futsushu” sake – meaning it wasn’t exactly premium. But today many small breweries put some of their best sakes in One Cups to get people to taste their better products at a better price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course many of the breweries also continue the tradition of filling their cups with their own version of “table sake.” The bottom line is that One Cups are cool, and are filled with great sake and come in really cool packages.
