Ty KU SAKE SILvER
Mirroring the all-natural ingredients it’s made from, Ty KU Sake Silver comes in a sleek and satiny bottle free of glutens, tannins, and sulfites, giving it a pure, sweet taste. Being the fastest growing premium sake in the world, Ty KU Sake Silver is quickly shattering the stereotypes of sake being served hot and limited to Asian restaurants. Though it complements Asian cuisine very well, this sake can be matched up with a variety of light western meals. Ty KU Sake Silver is best enjoyed chilled in a wine glass.
SAKE ONE MOMOKAwA
The daring new Momokawa label breaks the tradition indicating that a sake label must have Japanese calligraphy on it. Designed by veteran wine package designer, Jeffrey Caldewey, the new Momokawa label removes Japanese calligraphy from the label while still keeping an impression of calligraphic style. The artwork on the label is drawn from Zen Ei Sho, a nontraditional Japanese calligraphy. On the label, “Momo” is placed above “Kawa” as if it were written in Japanese. Momokawa is the result of a deconstructed Japanese label put back together combining American and Japanese cultures.
GEKKEIKAN ZIpANG SpARKLING SAKE This “trendy” sake offering might be found in a metro-type hotspot being sipped chilled from a flute. Zipang is served in a sleek, silver, single-serve bottle (250ml) and is not flavored, it’s simply sake infused with a light carbonation. It’s a crisp and lightly sweet beverage with a mellow, easy to drink flavor from the number one manufacturers of sake. The brand name Gekkeikan means “crown of laurel” and the brewery is located in Fushimi, well known for its high quality of water.
