Biology anime Cells at Work! is getting its own line of official liqueurs
A new line of original, alcoholic beverages has been announced by the online sake store “KURAND,” in a collaboration with the popular anime series, Cells at Work!.
The new “Hataraku Osake” (“Working Alcohol”) range features two different, original liqueurs, each one inspired by one of the two main characters from the series.
Cells at Work! is a hit show that depicts the various, anthropomorphized cells of the human body as they work to keep it running.
This new collaboration translates that world into a pair of unique, craft alcoholic beverages.
The lineup is as follows:
- “Hataraku Osake -1146-“: Inspired by the character White Blood Cell (Neutrophil) U-1146, this is a pure white, fresh milk-based liqueur.
- “Hataraku Osake -AE3803-“: Inspired by the character Red Blood Cell AE3803, this is a bright red liqueur made with Nanko plums and red shiso.
The two liqueurs are also available as part of a “Complete Set.”
This set, which bundles both of the new drinks, also comes with an exclusive, original glass as a bonus gift.
The glass has a unique design that changes depending on which liqueur is served in it.
When the white, “-1146-” liqueur is poured into it, an illustration of the White Blood Cell character is revealed.
When the red, “-AE3803-” liqueur is poured in, an illustration of the Red Blood Cell character is revealed instead.
Each of the two liqueurs is priced at ¥3,990 (approx. $27 USD/£20 GBP), and the “Complete Set” with the bonus glass is priced at ¥7,980 (approx. $54 USD/£40 GBP).
The new collection is now available to order on the official KURAND online store, and the liqueurs are scheduled to begin shipping in late November.
