Sato Shiki Unveils Redesigned Collection, Paying Tribute to the One-of-a-Kind Sato Still

A new bottle design brings the distinctive silhouette of the Sato Still to the forefront, celebrating the Japanese craftsmanship behind every Sato Shiki whisky.

NAPA, CA, UNITED STATES, November 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sato Shiki, a luxury Japanese whisky brand dedicated to producing authentic whisky from 100% Japanese grain to glass, announces the redesign of its complete collection of expressions. The new bottles introduce a distinctive silhouette inspired by the Sato Still, the one-of-a-kind still at the heart of Sato Shiki's whisky-making process.
Rather than simply redesigning the bottle, Sato Shiki set out to create a physical representation of where its whisky begins. The result is a collection that brings the character of the Sato Still into the hands of whisky lovers around the world.

Located at Sato Distillery in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, the Sato Still is a defining element of the brand's production philosophy. Sato Shiki exclusively sources its grains from local Japanese farms and follows a 100% Japanese grain-to-glass approach, connecting the whisky to its Japanese agricultural roots and the craftsmanship of its distillery.
With the redesigned collection, that philosophy is now reflected visually in every bottle.


A Bottle Inspired by the Still
The new design draws inspiration from the distinctive form of the Sato Still, translating its recognizable beehive shape into a refined bottle silhouette. The intention was deliberate: to make the vessel holding the whisky a reflection of the vessel that helped create it.
The result is a design that feels unmistakably Sato Shiki, modern, refined, distinctly Japanese, and rooted in the brand's production heritage.

The redesign encompasses the Sato Shiki collection, including expressions such as the Sato Shiki 41 Year Old, 21 Year Old, and Single Malt Masterpiece Finished in PX Barrel, among others.

The new bottles arrive at a moment of significant recognition for the brand. At the International Whisky Competition, Sato Shiki earned multiple top placements across Japanese whisky categories, including:

Best Japanese Whisky - 1st Place: Sato Shiki 41 Year Old
Best Japanese Whisky - 2nd Place: Sato Shiki Single Malt Masterpiece, Finished in PX Barrel
Best Japanese Single Malt Whisky - 1st Place: Sato Shiki Single Malt Masterpiece, Finished in PX Barrel
Best Japanese Single Grain Whisky - 1st Place: Sato Shiki 41 Year Old
Best Japanese Single Grain Whisky - 2nd Place: Sato Shiki 21 Year Old
Best Japanese Single Grain Whisky - 3rd Place: Sato Shiki Single Grain Madeira Cask

These accolades reinforce what the new bottle design seeks to communicate: Sato Shiki's character begins long before the whisky reaches the glass.
It begins with Japanese grain. It continues through the craftsmanship of Sato Distillery. And at the center of that journey is the Sato Still.
