Origami Sake announced the launch of ZERO, its first national non-alcohol sake.

Founded by Arkansas natives Matt Bell and Ben Bell, Origami Sake is on a mission to make Arkansas the “Napa Valley of Sake,” it says. By blending centuries-old brewing techniques with local excellence, Origami Sake is the first and only sake brewery in Arkansas and the largest domestically owned sake brewery in the United States, the company notes.

ZERO is crafted without alcohol-producing yeast, delivering all the complexity and smoothness of traditional sake while catering to today’s evolving consumer preferences, the company says. With notes of ripe apple and savory chestnuts balanced with refreshing acidity, it’s ideal for those seeking an elevated non-alcoholic beverage for celebrations, pairings, or everyday enjoyment, it notes.

“With ZERO, we’re offering a product that brings the artistry of sake to everyone,” said Ben Bell, co-founder of Origami Sake, in a statement. “This is more than a non-alcoholic option — it’s an entirely new way to experience sake while celebrating Arkansas’ finest ingredients.”

Co-Founder Matt Bell, added: “Sake has a 1,500-year history in Japan, with techniques refined over centuries. Bringing this craft to the U.S. required adapting equipment from the wine and beer industries, but we're proud to blend this tradition with Arkansas' exceptional resources to create something truly special.”

Packaged in a 750-ml bottle, Zero is available to purchase for a suggested retail price of $24.99 at select retailers including H-E-B, Total Wine and Spec’s.
