Just in time for summer sipping, Origami Sake unveiled Snow Monkey Sake Remix, a new range of ready-to-drink beverages crafted from sake.

Snow Monkey is a product innovation created by the Founder and CEO of Origami Sake, Matt Bell. 

The Snow Monkey Brand is rooted in the joyful spirit of the Japanese Macaques, the playful, resourceful and wise monkeys, which according to legends were sent by the Gods to protect sacred spaces and maintain the balance between nature and humanity, the company says. They didn’t just survive the harsh winters they thrived, seeking out hot springs for soaking, instinctively embracing the pleasures of life even in icy conditions, it adds.

“The story about the Macaques isn't just about survival, it’s about finding joy, pleasure and connection in the most unexpected places,” Bell said in a statement. “We took that inspiration and ran with it. Snow Monkey Sake Remix honors the soul of Japanese tradition with a deep connection to our home in Hot Springs, Ark.”

David Knight, CEO of now Monkey Sake Remix, added: “We start with an American sake base, so Snow Monkey RTDs offer a delicious and refreshing option for consumers who are concerned about the ingredients they eat and drink, and at only 100 calories it is a taste not to be missed. Our unique east-meets-west flavors are balanced with unmistakable umami. The result is a tropical fruit infusion embraced by a soft wash of bubbles with no artificial or overly sweet aftertaste so commonly found in malt or spirit-based beverages. Our tagline, ‘Drink No Evil,’ says it all.”

Snow Monkey Sake Remix is available in the following four fruit blends, packaged in one convenient eight-can variety pack:

MANDARIN & GRAPEFRUIT: Sweet mandarin and the sharp tang of grapefruit harmonize with the clean, umami-rich notes of sake, delivering a crisp and invigorating citrus profile.

MANGO & GUAVA: A tropical medley of creamy mango and tangy guava that intertwines with the silky depth of sake, creating a flavor profile that is fruity but not too sweet.

DRAGON FRUIT & KEYLIME: A vibrant fusion of dragon fruit blended with the crisp, zesty brightness of key lime, while sake’s subtle umami smooths and elevates the tropical notes.

YUZU & HIBISCUS: The tart, aromatic complexity of yuzu pairs with floral notes of hibiscus, while sake’s refined, silky texture weaves everything together in harmony.

This new sake-based RTD with a sessionable, low ABV of 4.5% and colorful graphics will grab consumer attention in retail coolers and displays, the company says. The spirit-based RTDs will be broadly available for purchase in convenience and grocery stores.

Launching in retail outlets across Arkansas, Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Ohio and Florida, as well as online at the company’s website, Snow Monkey Sake Remix will be rolling out in additional states later this summer, it says.
