BRAND IDENTITY
WEBSITE

Starting as a cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Japan through music and drinks, Otemba expanded to a quality importer of traditionally brewed Sake. Now ready to take over Amsterdam with this Japanese traditional drink, we made a fresh style that resembles the authenticity in a modern look.

To visualize the authenticity in a modern way, riceplants are drawn in origami shapes. Then, using polished rice, the plant is enriched by a lively texture on top of the traditional vermillion red. 

From business cards to sake pads —the art style is shown troughout the whole identity of Otemba, ready to colour up the place in restaurants and tasting events.

To get to know sake, we've made a website including a game where you can learn what Sake suits you best. The layout is setup to be bold, playful and easy, so users can score a bottle rightaway.
