KAIZO 3 - a juxtaposition of OPPOSITES, a combination of TEXTURES, creating a TENSION whilst staying BALANCED.
OUR WAY
UNHURRIED SINCE 1963
KAIZO SAN is a small independent brand founded in Kyoto, with an ambitious worldwide outlook. We are creatives who believe in the great. Clever, thoughtful, unexpected bar- and glassware designs carefully developed and mastered by select master artisans in Japan. Juxtaposing new ideas with good old-fashioned skilled workmanship using rich, premium and highly quality materials.
A PIECE OF EXCLUSIVE ART
As a brand we are focused on elevating the liquor drinking experience through design, science, ritual and add just the right amount of sophistication to the pomp and circumstance that goes into snifting then sipping.
We love to surround ourselves with nice things such as glassware. That's where you can really have a practical piece of art.
DO YOUR AMBER LIQUID JUSTICE
There's something about holding a heavy glass, bearing the weight of all that good whiskey, that feels nice.
Whisk(e)y, Scotch, Bourbon are nearly always drunk straight, or with a few drops of water, or over ice. Think short and stout. Anything called a whiskey glass will work beautifully. Treat yourself to a KAIZO SAN whiskey glass, pull up your favourite chair, and savour your dram in perfect style.
Don't get us wrong, sitting at home drinking whisky in a leather chair by a fireplace: Very fantastique. But what's also cool is drinking by the pool, at a barbecue, or at the campsite.
KAIZO 3 PRONOUNCED KAIZO SAN
The meaning behind our brand revealed.
kaizo 改造 meaning: renewal, reconfiguration
san 三 meaning: three
3 has been a lucky number for a long time in Japan. As you can see in the kanji, or Japanese character, it is a combination of one, 一 (ichi), and two , 二 (ni). It represents creation, time (past, present, and future), and the three elements of body, mind and spirit.
