Agnavi is a prominent distributor of Japanese alcoholic beverages, specializing in SAKE. We offer refillment and distribution services for SAKE while featuring Japan's leading SAKE brands, "ICHI-GO-CAN®" and "CANPAI®." These brands are renowned for their compact size, stylish appearance, and convenient packaging in portable cans. Currently, Agnavi is actively promoting its 180mL Japanese SAKE cans, boasting a diverse selection of over 170 varieties from all corners of Japan. Our mission is to popularize Japanese SAKE consumption by consolidating and selling regional SAKE across the country, thereby highlighting the appeal of local breweries regardless of their scale. As the leading SAKE can distributor in Japan, Agnavi takes pride in its exclusive focus on canned SAKE, distinguishing itself from competitors who handle bottled alternatives. We adopt a unique approach by seeking partnerships with smaller breweries lacking filling facilities, empowering them to introduce canned SAKE. This strategy sets Agnavi apart and opens doors for significant expansion opportunities. Furthermore, Agnavi's strategic alliance with Toyo Seikan Group Holdings, the world's only comprehensive container manufacturer, provides them with additional advantages. In summary, Agnavi stands as a distinguished distributor, emphasizing premium canned SAKE and championing the diverse flavors of Japan's SAKE culture nationwide.
