'Aki Sparkling Highball' is a representative product of the sake brand 'Aki,' which has garnered attention as Choo Sung Hoon directly participated in all phases of product planning, recipe development, tasting, and label design. It is a highball made from rice malt base, characterized by strong carbonation and enhanced fruit flavors, allowing it to be enjoyed like champagne.

It is available in two flavors, yuzu and ume (plum), with an alcohol content of 4%. The price is 5,000 won per can, and it can be purchased for 12,000 won when buying three cans. Sales will start on the 13th.

GS25 is also conducting pre-sales of 'Aki Sake (Junmai Daiginjo)' through the Our Neighborhood GS app. The first pre-sale, which took place from the 1st to the 5th, sold out the prepared quantity of 1,000 units. A limited second pre-sale of 500 units will continue from the 11th to the 15th.
