STEPGOLF Teams Up With Luxury Sake Brand MINAKI for a Members-Only Purchase Lottery

Indoor golf school STEPGOLF is collaborating with luxury sake brand MINAKI, giving members a chance to enter a lottery for the right to purchase a rare bottle from the brand's lineup.

A Globally Recognized Sake Brand

MINAKI sake bottle

MINAKI is a sake brand launched in 2022. Shortly after its debut, it won the trophy award in the SAKE category of the International Wine Challenge (IWC), one of the world's most prestigious wine competitions, standing out among 1,732 entries.

Currently, the only way to obtain MINAKI's special sake is by winning the right to purchase it through a lottery, making it a luxury sake that is difficult to access even for those willing to pay for it.

For this collaboration, STEPGOLF is offering 50 winners, selected by lottery from among its roughly 110,000 cumulative members, the right to purchase MINAKI.

極幻FORMULA.2: A Rare Sake Reserved for Select Venues

極幻FORMULA.2 bottle

極幻FORMULA.2 is a rare sake that is never sold in stores and is released only a few times a year.

As of June 2026, it can only be tasted at a select group of venues, including The Ritz-Carlton Okinawa, Tokyo Bay Court Club, the luxury cruise ship Asuka III, Halekulani Okinawa, Ginza Shinohara, Ginza Inaba, Kikunoi, and Tempura Kusunoki. The bottle arrives in a dedicated gift box, making it well suited as a reward for oneself, a gift for someone special, or a token of appreciation for a business partner.

Comment From STEPGOLF Representative Director Takanobu Enomoto

"My goal goes beyond simply helping people improve at golf — I want everyone to genuinely enjoy the game and live healthy, smiling lives centered on well-being. This collaboration with the luxury sake brand MINAKI came about as a way to add even more richness to our members' lives. Golf conditions the body, while sake awakens the senses — two seemingly opposite pursuits that share a deep commitment to making irreplaceable moments the best they can be. Together, we've created a new lifestyle for adults, one where the satisfaction of honing a skill and the exhilaration of savoring an exceptional drink feed into each other. I hope you'll experience this exciting new perspective and enjoy a life that shines even brighter starting tomorrow."
