Japanese Distilled Spirits Maker Hamada Syuzou Launches "CHILL GREEN bitter & tropical" Featuring Brand-new Flavor in Botanical "Shochu" Series

- New Product Combines Pink Grapefruit Note with Rare Galaxy Hop; Company Looking to Further Expand Product Reach in Asian Market in 2025 - ICHIKIKUSHIKINO, Japan, Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamada Syuzou Co., Ltd. based in Ichikikushikino City, Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan, released an innovative product in its botanical "shochu" (distilled spirits) series, "CHILL GREEN bitter & tropical," on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Innovative botanical shochu "CHILL GREEN bitter & tropical":https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M104785/202502144220/_prw_PI1fl_A74TFCk0.png  Japan's declining overall alcoholic beverage industry, including "honkaku" (authentic) shochu, has seen a new wave of drinks that emphasize a specific aroma or base ingredient as its main feature. This phenomenon has overturned the traditional image of shochu and has been further developing the market by bringing new ways of enjoying spirits to consumers. First released in February 2023, the "CHILL GREEN spicy & citrus" version features citrusy, crisp and piquant flavors thanks to "maqaw" spice. Its bottle has garnered praise from outside the traditional circle of buyers, gradually finding its roots in the alcohol market. The brand-new "bitter & tropical" version is the second offering in the series. Thanks to the rare Galaxy aroma hop, this new flavor achieved that classic pink grapefruit sensation with a zesty, tart flavor. Following the success of the initial bottle, the company will continue to spearhead the shochu industry into the next era, broadening the customer base and creating more ways to enjoy the drink. "CHILL GREEN bitter & tropical" website (English):https://www.hamadasyuzou.co.jp/en/products/chill-green-hop  "CHILL GREEN spicy & citrus" website (English):https://www.hamadasyuzou.co.jp/en/products/chill-green  Hamada Syuzou's official website (English): https://www.hamadasyuzou.co.jp/en/  Spirits' Overview BASE INGREDIENT The company's attention was drawn to hops in its search for a botanical ingredient that could help create new original flavors, specifically when combined with barley shochu. Galaxy is a highly rare variety in the world of hops, accounting for just 1% of global production. The aroma creates the sensation of a mixture of passion fruit and crisp citrus, providing a pleasant bitterness. Combining the company's unique production techniques, it has achieved the sweet, citrusy aroma and modest bitterness that suggest pink grapefruit. Hops (image for illustrative purposes only):https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M104785/202502144220/_prw_PI2fl_U63EhkT9.jpg  FLAVOR DESIGN The essence of "CHILL GREEN bitter & tropical" allows a distinct savoring of its full flavors over the course of drinking. The company recommends starting with a soda water mix, which provides a pleasant pink grapefruit note, followed by the authentic natural flavors of barley shochu. The shochu serves to coat dishes with, and provides at the end, a slight bitterness derived from the Galaxy hop, thus enhancing the dish's originality. For the soda water mix, the company suggests 1:2 for an extra pink grapefruit-ness and experiment with 1:1 to enjoy more of a passion fruit-like rich flavor. As shochu has traditionally been popular as a table drink in Japan, the company will continue this heritage and keep exploring the possibilities that broaden combinations with various dishes.

These are the ideas and feelings that went into the creation of this series. The bottle design of the company's first release, "CHILL GREEN spicy & citrus" (25%, 720mL), won the Lilly Franky Award (by head judge) at the 20th Glass Bottle Award 2024, where awards are based on the various aspects of glass bottles, such as design, functionality and environmental friendliness. The company is continuing the wine bottle shape for this second flavor.

DatoDurian Pioneers Malaysia's Farms with First Tokenization of Durian Farm

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Feb. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DatoDurian, Malaysia's first live agriculture tokenization project, proudly announces the completion of its private sale, selling 100% of the initial round. This milestone, achieved ahead of schedule, solidifies DatoDurian's position as the pioneer in blending agriculture and blockchain technology to revolutionize Malaysia's premium durian industry. Above is the DatoDurian private launch event held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. DatoDurian will mint their public round on Mantra Chain, a purpose-built RWA Layer 1 Blockchain, that's capable of adherence to real world regulatory requirements in the coming weeks. DatoDurian enables investors to own a share of Southeast Asia's most profitable agricultural market by tokenizing durian farms as Real-World Assets (RWAs). The platform provides unprecedented access to a thriving industry, ensuring transparency and long-term stability for investors. "We're breaking barriers to offer fractional ownership, unparalleled returns, and long-term stability—all backed by lifetime freehold farmland," said Bobby Sim, VP of DatoDurian. "This is more than just an investment; it's the gateway to a booming industry powered by innovation and trust." John Patrick Mullin, CEO and Co-Founder of MANTRA said, "At MANTRA we're focused on empowering those with high quality asset classes - just like DatoDurian's farms - with the leading protocol and infrastructure they need to seamlessly participate and build solutions in the evolving RWA tokenization space. Just like real estate, agriculture makes a perfect use case for tokenization. It's exciting to see how this project could lead to others and the opportunities it will yield." "One of the biggest benefits of RWA and tokenization is that we're not subject to market crashes. We don't pay attention to bull or bear markets because our profits are not tied to speculation. It's the sale of durian fruit which is in extremely high demand" claims Warren Burke, VP of Ecosystem. DatoDurian is also offering customers free cryptocurrency tokens, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This choice from the company enforces their stance on trust and security for all users. "Most of our users come from traditional finance and don't understand Web3 at all. We want to give them a safe and secure channel to learn about blockchain" states Bobby Sim. Empowering Investors Through Innovation DatoDurian offers fractional ownership of premium durian farms, historically reserved for large-scale investors. The durian industry has long been a cornerstone of wealth in Malaysia, with many farmers earning millionaire status. Now, through DatoDurian, retail investors can participate in this high-yield market. DatoDurian's blockchain-based security tokens ensure: Transparency in transactions and operations. Bi-annual harvest and dividend payouts for investors. Automated profit distribution without intermediaries. Access to global liquidity via regulated securities markets. The company has partnered with local government agencies and obtained several licenses to guarantee compliance, solving common blockchain concerns such as speculative risks and scams. The Durian Market: A Booming Opportunity The global durian market, valued at USD 10.78 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to USD 16.89 billion by 2030, according to Mordor Intelligence. Durians are among the world's most expensive and profitable fruits, making them a prime investment. DatoDurian's farms, which are managed by agriculture experts with over 30 years of experience, are harvest-ready, ensuring immediate returns from the first year. DatoDurian also integrates their own unique management technology, offering full transparency of farm maintenance and updates to users. Speaking about the durian industry, when asked why durian fruits, Bobby Sim stated: "Premium durian farms can yield up to 50% ROI annually, with potential for 30x returns over 25 years. With more than a 100 year lifespan, durian trees can be replanted meaning they are ideal for building generational wealth. Restarting the perpetual cycle of durian harvest again." Global Accessibility and Ethical Investments DatoDurian's tokens are designed to be traded 24-7-365 on several security exchanges globally like NexStox, offering seamless global liquidity. The company also adheres to Shariah principles, unlocking access to the $445 trillion USD global market that is inaccessible to Islamic Finance. "RWA offerings have hitherto lacked global liquidity and real yield from real business. This announcement from DatoDurian highlights the immense potential of the market moving forward alongside its commitment to becoming a global pioneer in the RWA space. We're excited about making this available for 24/7 trading on the NexStox group of exchanges and the immense potential it brings." says NexStox CEO, Cathal Donnellan. About DatoDurian DatoDurian is revolutionizing Malaysia's durian farming industry by leveraging blockchain technology. Launched in 2024, DatoDurian makes premium durian farmland accessible to global investors through fractionalisation and tokenization, enabling access to shared ownership, stable yield and a global capital pool.

Global Times: Observing China's He Culture through the lens of Spring Festival

BEIJING, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Qingcheng Palace complex at the Xiannongtan Temple, a gem along Beijing Central Axis, is the first ancient palace complex that was revitalized and unveiled after the Beijing Central Axis was successfully inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List last year. During the Spring Festival holidays, both domestic and international tourists flocked to this site to pray for blessings, wishing for "family harmony," "bountiful harvests," and "good things in succession." Praying for blessings is one of the key themes of the social practices of Chinese people celebrating the Chinese New Year. The Spring Festival is rich in soul due to the inheritance of tradition, and vibrant with life through adaptation to the times. Over thousands of years, despite its ever-changing forms and profound content, the core themes of reunion, welcoming the new year and praying for blessings have remained unchanged, becoming an enduring cultural bond and spiritual totem for the Chinese people throughout history. Reunion means peace and harmony, joy and auspiciousness. Welcoming the new year means renewal and vitality, endless vitality. Praying for blessings means happiness, health and everything going smoothly. At the heart of these basic elements lies the value core of He culture. Chinese culture values justice, harmony and solidarity. The value concept of "He" is deeply embedded in the spirit of the Chinese people, influencing their thoughts, ideas and behaviors. As China's most important traditional holiday, the Spring Festival is a key carrier for He culture. In his important speech at a high-level reception to ring in the Chinese New Year, Chinese President Xi Jinping touched upon reunion, hard work and a better life, these are the key words of wishes and expectations. In 2024, the Spring Festival was successfully inscribed to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and nearly 20 countries have established the Chinese New Year as an official public holiday. Approximately one-fifth of the world's population celebrates this festival in different ways. The global "fandom" of the Spring Festival reflects the widespread recognition of He culture. Through the Spring Festival, we can more deeply appreciate that the concept of "He" has a silent but powerful force that transcends hearts, surpasses nature, crosses borders and offers us new insights. In terms of relationships between people and families, the Spring Festival emphasizes "harmony brings good fortune" "A family is the smallest unit of a nation while a nation is a myriad of families put together." Without national prosperity and development, there can be no happy and harmonious families; without the happiness of millions of families, there can be no national prosperity and development. Chinese modernization is the modernization of common prosperity for all, which ultimately concerns every family. President Xi emphasized that respect for the elderly and caring for the young, a marriage comprising a virtuous wife and a hardworking husband, a kind mother with filial children, brotherly harmony, equal emphasis on work and study, frugality, knowledge and respect, observing disciplines and obeying laws as well as family harmony leading to prosperity - these traditional virtues of the Chinese family are deeply ingrained in the Chinese people's hearts and blood. They are the important spiritual forces that support the vitality and continuity of the Chinese nation. For the Chinese people, family is the place where dreams begin and also the home of the soul. Therefore, reunion is the eternal theme of the Spring Festival. The wish for family reunion reflects the spiritual pursuit of "Hehe." The fact that "reunion is happiness and unity is strength" has become a common emotional expression for the Chinese people. From Xiamen in Fujian Province to Lanzhou in Gansu Province, spanning over 2,700 kilometers and taking 29 hours, migrant worker Chai Shunyao returned home. After nearly 21 hours on the road, Wang Chunxi, over 60 years old, and his wife traveled from their hometown in Changchun, Jilin Province, to Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, to reunite with their daughter - a kind of "reverse reunions"... No matter the long distances or exhausting travel, the promise of "coming back for the Spring Festival" and the belief that whether rich or poor, one must return home for the Spring Festival have made the Spring Festival travel rush the "largest population migration in the world," becoming a cultural phenomenon. According to the US website "Travel and Tour World," "this year's Spring Festival reflects not just the scale of human movement but also the resilience and optimism of a nation prioritizing connection and cultural celebration." The family is the cell of society. When the family is harmonious, society is stable; when the family is happy, society is peaceful; when the family is civilized, society is civilized. The story of harmony and courtesy in the Liuchixiang, an ancient alley in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, between family and neighbors has been passed down to this day. Following this traditional cultural concept, and integrating it with harmonious justice ideas, Tongcheng developed the "Liuchixiang Work Method in New Era," which effectively mediates conflicts and promotes social governance. Many local communities and neighborhoods have established platforms for consultation and mediation, such as "people's corner" and "neighbor mediation rooms," promoting the approach that small matters stay within the community, major matters stay within the street, and conflicts don't get escalated. The Chinese people practice "filial piety at home and loyalty to the country." Understanding the "family" of the Chinese people is key to understanding the Chinese people's view of "nation." The peaceful and tranquil scenes of countless homes, the serenity of everyday life, and the quiet passage of time are made possible because there are always those who diligently stand guard and bear the weight of responsibility, moving forward despite the burdens they carry. Whether during the Spring Festival or other holidays, from taxi drivers and couriers to doctors and police, countless people silently persevere in ordinary positions, demonstrating a noble sense of devotion to both their families and the nation. Connecting love for the family with love for the country, blending the dream of family with the Chinese Dream, uniting as one, harmonizing as a community, the wisdom and passion of 1.4 billion people and more than 400 million families form the immense strength that advances Chinese modernization. In terms of the relations between humans and nature, the Spring Festival emphasizes that when harmony is achieved, all things can grow and develop Complying with the laws, respecting nature, holding heaven in high regard and obeying the times, the culture embedded in the Spring Festival contains the ecological concept of the unity of nature and humans, and the coexistence of all things. Respecting nature, complying with nature, protecting nature, and promoting the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature are the distinctive features of Chinese modernization. The ordinary people have a happy holiday, which heralds a good start to the year. In this happiness and beginning, people live in harmony with themselves, with their families and with nature. People work dedicatedly over and over again, and continue to innovate while learning the old and incorporating the new. The Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi explains, "The year is when the grains are ripe." The Spring Festival is a festival built on farming civilization and embodies the rhythm of agricultural production. February 3 this year is the Start of Spring. The 24 solar terms, headed by the Start of Spring, are a knowledge system formed by ancient Chinese people who grasped the laws of nature. They are the fruit of the wisdom of production and life in ancient farming societies. Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new is a social practice in which people respect the laws of life on the basis of grasping the laws of nature. After a year of hard work and busy struggling, people can relax and exchange emotions during the Spring Festival, and at the same time accumulate energy for a new beginning, replenish spirits and become even more motivated. The folk proverb "A year's plan starts with spring" precisely guides people to place their expectation of the progression of seasons and a bumper grain harvest on hard agricultural work and life struggling after nurturing their energy and resources. Today, natural time, social time and humanistic time are integrated into one. Humans and nature are interdependent and live in harmony. The space for high-quality development continues to expand through people's struggle and innovation. This year's Spring Festival has become a vivid display platform and a subject of story-telling. New consumption shows that supply-side reforms have given rise to new demands, from the disfavored over-packaged gift bags and the popularity of environmentally friendly fireworks, to the significant year-on-year sales increase of various culturally creative New Year goods like bracelets and refrigerator magnets. Additionally, creativity and technology are empowering blockbuster films for the Spring Festival, winning positive audience reviews. The acceleration of the deep integration of "culture+creativity" and "culture+technology" are forming new growth points. New trends reflect the strong pulse of new quality productive forces. The human-robot collaborative performances such as Yangge folk dance, digital twins and "bullet time" on the Spring Festival gala brought people a feast of culture and technology. When climbing Mount Tai, people can choose an exoskeleton robot for assistance. It uses advanced ergonomic design and core technologies such as power, electronics and artificial intelligence algorithms to sense every movement trend of the wearer's legs, helping tourists have an even more enjoyable climbing experience. The new ecology demonstrates the practical power of new development concepts. Lanterns are lit up like daylight, fireworks are bright and people are everywhere - during the Spring Festival in Nianhua Bay in Wuxi, East China's Jiangsu Province, the drones and fireworks displays are breathtaking, and related videos have become popular on overseas social platforms. More than 10 years ago, rivers here were silted up and mines were exposed, bringing pollution to Taihu Lake. Implementing "treating the Taihu Lake and preserving the resources" and improving the ecological environment, Nianhua Bay has changed tremendously by embarking on a path of win-win for the environment and economy and coexistence of ecological beauty and people's prosperity, becoming a vivid portrayal of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are as valuable as gold and silver." In today's China, the path of civilized development featuring development of production, prosperity of life and good ecology is constantly being consolidated. By accelerating the formation of green production methods and lifestyles, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains will become more colorful, and Chinese modernization will embrace greater potential and stamina. The Spring Festival emphasizes "harmony and symbiosis" in terms of the relationship between people and the world UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed in his new year's message that "the snake symbolizes wisdom, resilience and renewal" and proposed that "in these trying times, let us be guided by these qualities and renew our commitment to peace, equality and justice." Chinese modernization is a modernization that follows the path of peaceful development. Chinese civilization inherits the philosophy of peace and harmony. China has no genes for foreign aggression and expansion. It is the only major country that has written peaceful development into the Constitution of the country and the Constitution of the governing party, thus making peaceful development a commitment of the nation. China has put into practice the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, provided new opportunities for world development with new achievements in Chinese modernization, and worked with all parties to promote peaceful development, win-win cooperation and common prosperity. In a world facing more divisions and turbulence, people are more eager for the happiness of a festival than ever before in history - the light of peace, the dream of reunion and the way home. The Spring Festival fits the universal aspirations of people of all countries for peace, development and stability, resonating with the world. Eric Solheim, former under-secretary-general of the United Nations, believes that "Hehe culture is a 'powerful antidote' to conflict and division." The Spring Festival, a time when everything is renewed, can also become a "singularity moment" for human beings to bid farewell to the past and walk side by side.

Lorikeet Secures $9 Million in Additional Funding as Market Demand Surges for its AI Customer Support Agents

New funding to be used to expand Lorikeet's platform and market presence, helping more companies across complex and regulated industries use AI agents to offer human quality support at scale  SYDNEY, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AI customer experience pioneer Lorikeet today announces it has raised an additional AUD $9 million in funding from Blackbird and its existing investors Square Peg and Skip Capital, fueled by breakout growth in 2024 across key financial centers in Australia, Asia, and the US and just four months after announcing its USD $5 million seed round fundraise last year.  Since launching in October 2024, Lorikeet has increased bookings by 3.5 times, and added several unicorns and public companies in the US and Australia as customers and pilot partners, including market leaders such as Eucalyptus in healthcare, Step in banking, and MagicEden in Cryptocurrency. The new funding will be used to further enhance Lorikeet's intelligent graph technology, expand the company's enterprise capabilities, and accelerate go-to-market initiatives across key industries including healthcare, financial services, technology, and more. Customer experience as we know it is broken. Support teams are scattered across time zones, struggling with sky-high turnover rates while customers wait hours or days for help. Basic AI chatbots have failed to fix the problem – they're too rigid to handle anything beyond simple FAQ responses. Even highly funded Silicon Valley darling startups have failed to ship products that can reliably handle complex support cases. Lorikeet is changing that with an AI platform that doesn't just match human agents, but can also uniquely handle complex support queries involving confidential patient information, movement of digital currencies, and more. "We're not satisfied with using AI to simply summarize FAQs, or implementing architectures passed on by OpenAI," said Steve Hind, Lorikeet's co-founder and CEO. "Our intelligent graph architecture is purpose-built ground up to enable AI agents to reliably handle complex workflows  in highly regulated industries that were previously impossible for AI to handle." The company's proprietary intelligent graph technology orchestrates sophisticated workflows for tasks ranging from secure credit card replacements to effective triage of medical issues and cryptocurrency transaction verification. Lorikeet's AI agents are distinctive in their ability to deliver high quality interactions on complex, multi-conditional customer problems, engage on highly sensitive or regulated topics, while knowing what they don't know, so that they can avoid giving incorrect answers. Eucalyptus, a global telehealth player, increased customer satisfaction scores (CSAT) by 10 points while doubling support volume in a year without growing the team. Magic Eden, a top NFT Hub who was facing surges in support volume due to the cryptocurrency bull market and increased interest and usage of their mobile app, adopted Lorikeet to handle the volume while seeing CSAT increase to 75%, up from 45% with their previous AI agent provider. Breeze, APAC-based fintech, was able to independently resolve 40% of their complex support volume with Lorikeet within 30 days, including questions about KYC reviews, transaction statuses and declines. Global Growth From Down Under "The Australian technology ecosystem continues to produce world-class innovations in artificial intelligence, and Lorikeet stands out as a prime example," said Tom Humphrey, Partner at Blackbird. "The team's product approach to solving complex customer support challenges through advanced AI workflows is differentiated. Support is perhaps the highest impact and lowest hanging fruit opportunity for enterprise adoption of AI, and the market scale is absolutely enormous." Lorikeet has seen strong traction globally, with special momentum in the U.S. across healthcare providers, financial institutions, and technology companies. The company has plans to aggressively expand into the United States, while also growing its local team in Sydney. "What sets Lorikeet apart is our fundamental understanding that effective customer support requires more than just conversational AI," said Jamie Hall, Co-founder and CTO of Lorikeet. "Our intelligent graph technology is unique in its ability to both solve complex customer inquiries and know what it doesn't know to avoid giving incorrect answers or engaging on highly sensitive or regulated topics."
