Los Angeles, CA (October 11, 2024) — MTN WTR, the first Japanese, naturally alkaline, premium spring water brand in the U.S. is thrilled to announce that its spring water from Mt. Fuji, Japan, will be available at all Erewhon locations starting October 2024.
This marks a significant milestone for MTN WTR as the company expands its footprint in the $9.3B premium bottled water market, offering consumers in Southern California access to the pure, high-quality water sourced directly from Japan’s sacred mountain, Mt. Fuji. MTN WTR will offer both still spring water and sparkling spring water in 16 fl oz aluminum cans, perfectly aligned with Erewhon's focus on quality and sustainability.
MTN WTR was founded on a mission to bring Japan’s purest tasting water to the U.S. When Founder and CEO, Masa Kinemuchi, moved from Japan to the U.S., he immediately missed the pure, high-quality water he grew up with. Inspired by his longing for the pure, high-quality water of Japan, Masa and co-founder Takashi Nakamura launched MTN WTR, dedicated to bringing the purest spring water directly from the springs of Mt. Fuji to the U.S. market.
“We are excited to partner with Erewhon to bring our premium Japanese water to their customers,” said Masa Kinemuchi, Founder and CEO of MTN WTR. “Erewhon's commitment to quality and sustainability aligns perfectly with our values, and we are thankful to be able to offer our premium Mt. Fuji water to their community.”
Breaking into the U.S. market in October 2022, MTN WTR has rapidly grown and is now available in over 350 retail and restaurant locations and online through Amazon.
