Kurand has opened up pre-orders for a Tekken 30th anniversary sake set. It’ll come in a box depicting Mishima Kazuya and Kazama Jin fighting, as well as come with an original glass.
The sake set will cost 19,800 JPY ($137.85) and it only comes in a 720 ml bottle. Pre-orders will close on October 4, 2024 and then Kurand will start shipping out orders from late November 2024. As this is alcohol, people outside of Japan may experience difficulties importing or exporting this product. Something else to keep in mind is that Kurand will only produce 300 bottles of the sake. So if you really want this, you may want to put in an order as soon as you can.
The Tekken 30th anniversary sake (really a barley shochu) has a very deep flavor and fragrance as a nod to the long history of the series. The name of the drink is Fuujinken, which translates to Wind God Fist. It’s a name of a move from Mishima Style Karate. Fuujinken uses barley from Miyazaki that’s been matured for over 30 years. Its age gives it a smooth taste.
Tekken started in 1994. Since then, it’s spawned numerous sequels, spin-off games, film adaptations, and more. As of 2023, the franchise has sold over 58 million copies worldwide. This makes it one of the best-selling fighting game franchises of all time.
The Tekken 30th anniversary sake, barley shochu Fuujinken, is available for pre-order on Kurand’s website. The latest game in the Tekken series, Tekken 8, is readily available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC.
