"ORGANIC: Coming this June!

We are honored to announce the coming of the first certified organic saké. Momokawa Organic Junmai Ginjo and a Nigori Genshu will begin shipping early June 2008. While there are a few saké on the market that highlight "organic" on their bottles they are not certified organic but are merely made with organic rice. There is a vast difference in "made with" and "organic" with the main differences being a certified brewing facility and complete certification of all ingredients. The complete certification adds value for organic and natural grocers and restaurants alike. Watch for more news including the finalized release date, packaging and sampling opportunities." -- from the SAKE ONE mailing list.
