Altekna, a pioneer of sake cellars

Altekna is a company that specializes in development projects that seek to give form to ideas articulated by people who desire a novel object or design. In the course of developing sake cellars, Altekna exhibited a conceptual model at “VIEXPO” in Hong Kong whose temperature can be adjusted across three temperature zones from -5℃ to 20℃. This model is not only capable of storing sake but wine as well, which earned high praise from Mr. Guillaume Deglise, the CEO of “VINEXPO” who visited the company’s exhibition booth. Altekna subsequently released the made-to-order model “MIYABINO,” which has attracted the attention of sake lovers.

Sakura Works, a pioneer in cellar management technology

Sakura Works is a company with extensive expertise in the area of cooling technology beyond regular refrigerators, including equipment for accelerating the aging of liquor in addition to those for chilling wine and sake. In particular, the defrost control mechanism installed in SAKE CELLAR^® is a patented technology developed independently by Sakura Works. This technology controls defrost operations based on the temperature of the cooling pipe and minimizes transient changes in the temperature of the liquid content of the sake bottles, which gives rise to consistent sake quality. Moreover, the company oversees the development of SAKE CELLAR^® by drawing on its in-house supply chain and proprietary mechanism designs that have been created in the course of developing wine cellars.
