FamilyMart Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Takeo Kotani) will celebrate its 45th anniversary in September 2026. Based on five key words we have continuously worked on, we will operate under the slogan 'Ichiban Challenge' (Number One Challenge). As part of our efforts aiming for 'The Most Delicious' and 'The Most Exciting and Fun', the record-breaking blockbuster 'XISTO Gran Reserva' for 1,272 yen (1,399 yen with tax) and 'XISTO Reserva Barrel Selected' for 1,090 yen (1,199 yen with tax) from the collaboration series with the popular wine manga 'Kami no Shizuku' will make a comeback at approximately 15,800 FamilyMart stores handling alcohol nationwide starting Tuesday, April 28, 2026.
■ What is the 'Kami no Shizuku' Collaboration Series, a Gem Acknowledged by the Original Author?
The 'Kami no Shizuku' collaboration series is a collection of 12 exquisite wines actually tasted by Tadashi Agi, the original author of the hugely popular wine manga 'Kami no Shizuku', who expressed their flavors through the worldview of the manga.
Among the 12 types, 'XISTO' boasts overwhelming popularity. In the past, it recorded weekly sales of about 7,000 bottles, which is about 7 times that of products in the same price range. It recorded one of the highest sales in FamilyMart history, becoming a legendary bottle that leads the series in both name and reality.
The product name 'XISTO' is a coined word combining 'schist' (crystalline schist) found in the La Mancha region, representing the accumulated thoughts of long-term aging, and the 'X' resembling the windmills of La Mancha. The red 'I' contains the passion for becoming No. 1 in sales. We have realized this with our unique procurement capabilities to offer raw sake of a class that is originally considered extremely difficult to provide in the 1,000 yen range.
This time, two types will be revived: the silky 'Gran Reserva' woven by aging, and the fruit-rich 'Reserva Barrel Selected'. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the masterpiece that became a huge topic on social media as 'a miracle you can buy for 1,000 yen'.
