Everyone's a Winner at 83rd Academy Awards with Gift Bags Featuring Kosanka Antioxidant Beverage

TOKYO, Feb. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- On Feb. 27, a select few from the cinema industry elite will walk away from the 83rd Academy Awards with a coveted Oscar in hand. Yet more award nominees and presenters will take away a prized celebrity gift bag, packed with today's most innovative and luxurious products, including Kosanka (pronounced koh-san-ka), an all-natural anti-aging beverage sold only in Japan. At the gala event, award hopefuls and other stars of the show will receive a Kosanka sample branded with a special Academy Awards tattoo decal and kanji characters symbolizing "youthful, beautiful, forever."  

Since 2009, Kosanka has quickly emerged in Japan as a chemical-free anti-aging solution. Regularly featured in the country's top fashion and beauty magazines, Kosanka is now a must-have product among Japanese models, beauty advisors and makeup artists. The beverage's powerful anti-aging qualities, chic appeal and, quite simply, its good taste make it an ideal fit for the celebrity market, says August Hergesheimer, president of Abios Co. Ltd., the pharmaceutical-grade facility that manufactures Kosanka.

"Kosanka is the shining star of Japan's beauty market, and we are honored to have Kosanka included in the celebrity gift bags for Oscars night - a first for a Japanese beverage," Hergesheimer comments. "Great things come in small packages, and Kosanka is purposefully manufactured in small batches and through a proprietary process that taps the potency of carefully concentrated, certified organic ingredients."

Kosanka's secret blend includes three high-antioxidant ingredients -- sour cherry juice, lemon, and acai extract, derived from the world-renowned acai superfruit. Abios removes all natural oils from the acai, leaving the sample with very pure and extremely high amounts of antioxidants. Each fluid ounce contains a level of 3,000 Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). With an acai concentration of 75 percent, a 16-ounce bottle of Kosanka delivers an impressive rating of over 50,000 ORAC.

"Kosanka is the result of superior natural ingredients and Japanese craftsmanship," Hergesheimer concludes. "Japanese products are recognized worldwide for their excellent quality, and Japanese women are noteworthy for their lasting, youthful appearance. Kosanka is a favorite choice for such women and should be an equally big hit at the Academy Awards."

Kosanka retails in Japan for Y8,000 or approximately US$100.
