Capcom Celebrates Okami’s 20th Anniversary with New Limited-Edition Sake Set
Capcom’s beloved action-adventure title Okami is receiving a unique anniversary celebration through a newly announced commemorative sake collection created to honor the game’s 20-year legacy.
The special collaboration package combines premium Japanese sake with a selection of exclusive collectibles designed around the game’s distinctive art style and memorable characters.
Originally released in 2006, Okami earned critical acclaim for its striking Japanese ink-painting aesthetic, mythological storytelling, and innovative Celestial Brush gameplay mechanics.
Players take control of the sun goddess Amaterasu, who appears in the form of a white wolf and embarks on a quest to restore life, beauty, and balance to a world threatened by darkness.
To celebrate the franchise’s milestone anniversary, the “Hakutsuru Okami 20th Anniversary Sake Set” draws inspiration from one of the game’s most memorable moments involving the legendary “Thunder Brew” used during the battle against Orochii.
The sake itself is brewed using 100 percent Yamadaho rice, a historic and once-rare rice variety highly regarded for sake production.
Its presentation has been designed to evoke Amaterasu, featuring a pure white bottle accented with deep crimson details that create a refined and ceremonial appearance.
Accompanying the bottle is a specially produced drinking glass decorated with the Okami logo and imagery inspired by the game’s iconic Celestial Brush technique “Cherry Bomb,” which fills the world with blooming cherry blossoms.
The set also includes a custom-crafted Japanese cypress masu cup engraved with motifs inspired by Okami’s artistic style and mythology.
When the glass is placed inside the wooden masu and filled with sake, the arrangement is intended to create an atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional ritual or offering.
The anniversary collection is housed in a premium presentation box created exclusively for the collaboration.
Its exterior uses a sophisticated combination of white, red, and gold tones to reflect the series’ distinctive Japanese-inspired visual identity.
Opening the box reveals a celebratory illustration featuring characters from the game gathered together to commemorate the franchise’s twentieth anniversary.
The packaging also includes a practical hidden feature, as one of the internal dividers can be removed and repurposed as a coaster.
Unlike many anniversary products, the “Hakutsuru Okami 20th Anniversary Sake Set” is being produced exclusively through a made-to-order system and is not currently planned for general retail release.
The set is priced at ¥11,000 (approx. $76 USD/£56 GBP), and pre-orders are being accepted until July 13 at 9:59 a.m. (JST) via the official Hakutsuru online store, with shipments scheduled to begin from November onward.
