Zaku Naguwashi Series by Yasushi Uemura Wins Gold in A' Packaging Design Awards

Yasushi Uemura's Innovative Packaging Design for Japanese Sake Recognized with Prestigious International Award

COMO, CO, ITALY, October 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award, a highly respected and well-recognized award in the field of packaging design, has announced Yasushi Uemura's "Zaku Naguwashi Series" as the recipient of the Golden A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category. This prestigious recognition highlights the exceptional design and innovation of the Japanese sake packaging created by Yasushi Uemura.

The Zaku Naguwashi Series packaging design showcases the unique characteristics of Japanese sake while appealing to the international market, particularly in luxury restaurants across Europe and America. By drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese motifs such as "shide" paper streamers and the art of "origata" paper folding, Yasushi Uemura successfully conveys the spirituality and essence of the Japanese culture through the packaging design.

The design features intricate cut-out holes that mimic the folded shapes of paper, adding a tactile and visual dimension to the packaging. The use of synthetic paper provides the appearance of traditional paper while ensuring durability when placed in coolers. These innovative elements not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also improve the functionality and user experience of the packaging.

Winning the Golden A' Design Award in the Packaging Design category serves as a testament to Yasushi Uemura's exceptional talent and dedication to pushing the boundaries of packaging design. This recognition is expected to inspire future projects and encourage further exploration of innovative packaging solutions that seamlessly blend tradition and modernity.
