[22nd Glass Bottle Award 2026 Grand Prize Winner] Hata Kosen's "HATA PREMIUM"

Hata Kosen Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Miyakojima-ku, Osaka; President: Keiin Hata) has won the Grand Prize at the "22nd Glass Bottle Award 2026," hosted by the Japan Glass Bottle Association, out of 161 entries (212 bottles). The award-winning "HATA PREMIUM" was praised for reviving the nostalgic all-glass Ramune bottle, which includes the rim. It was recognized as a product that evokes childhood memories for some and feels fresh to others, while offering practical benefits like a cool mouthfeel that matches the temperature of the glass. It is seen as a sustainable product that has brought a traditional Japanese beverage back to life as a modern gastronomic drink. HATA PREMIUM is also undergoing a renewal of its contents, switching from "sugar and glucose-fructose syrup" to "sugar only," resulting in a cleaner, more premium taste.
