Japanese Vinegar Drink Packaging
Kahisu is the Japanese vinegar drink with an ethical message, which is first in Japan. That is made from bitter orange peels, which previously were discarded after squeezing the juice. The design concept is Artistic Design for Ethical Choice. To express two new flavors blending the vinegary, the sweetness of fruit, and the bitterness of bitter orange peels, and the special moment of drinking them, a champagne-type bottle used, overlapped the worldview of two great artists, Gauguin (Blend G) and Monet (Blend M). The gift box uses minimal cardboard material to hold two bottles beautifully.

Corporate Identity
The Hiroshima Terrace is a visual consisting only of a diamond pattern. The reason why it uses the carp shape is that Hiroshima has long been called the city of water and that it was also called the city of carp because carp lived there. Therefore, by superimposing the image of the Japanese carp and Mitsubishi colour, Hiroshima and Mitsubishi are represented.
