Shiraito Brewery Co., Ltd. is teaming up with Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for a limited edition sake based on a silly Japanese pun.
Some background: Ghost in the Shell’s original title in Kanji characters is 攻殻機動隊, which reads as “Kōkaku Kidōtai” (“Mobile Armored Riot Police”).
However, many Japanese fans often mistake 攻殻 (meaning “Mobile Armored”) for the homophone 甲殻 (meaning “crustacean”), since both are pronounced as “Kōkaku” in Japanese.
