A canned mizuwari in a smooth, pre-mixed style made with authentic barley shochu “Hakata no Hana Mugi” is being launched. It will be released first at Seven-Eleven stores selling alcoholic beverages nationwide, allowing consumers to enjoy its flavor conveniently in a can.
Fukutoku Churui Co., Ltd., part of the Oenon Group, is adding “Hakata no Hana Mugi Shochu Mizuwari” to its lineup of authentic shochu “Hakata no Hana Mugi,” offering the smooth mouthfeel of pre-mixed shochu in a can for easy enjoyment. The product will be released on a rolling basis from 4 November 2026 at Seven-Eleven stores selling alcoholic beverages nationwide, excluding Okinawa. Some stores may not carry the product.
The product uses the pre-mixing technique, in which shochu and water are blended in advance and allowed to meld, resulting in a gentler mouthfeel than standard mizuwari. The product combines barley shochu with clear soft water and uses yeast that creates a rounded smoothness and a fragrant aroma, delivering a smooth, pre-mixed style.
Product details are as follows: category, shochu (Class B); alcohol content, 9%; volume, 350ml can; case pack, 24 cans per carton; suggested retail price, ¥198 (excluding tax). The product will be released on a rolling basis from 4 November 2026 at Seven-Eleven stores selling alcoholic beverages nationwide, excluding Okinawa. Some stores may not carry it.
