OISHII SAKE - NOT JUST FOR SUSHI ANYMORE - READY TO ELEVATE THE SAKE MARKET
Often synonymous with sushi and Japanese cuisine, sake is breaking free from its traditional pairings, and Oishii Sake is leading this flavorful revolution. With its motto, "Sake, it’s not just for sushi anymore™," Oishii is making a compelling case for why sake should be a staple in every discerning drinker's repertoire.
While you can find Oishii Sake at high end restaurants like Miami/Bal Harbour’s Makoto, don’t be surprised if it also starts popping up at Italian restaurants and burger joints.
Oishii Sake begins its journey with a commitment to quality and authenticity that is evident in every bottle. The brand’s philosophy is beautifully encapsulated in its slogan, "Great rice + great water = great sake™." This dedication to excellence starts with the essentials: Blue Ridge Mountain water and Titan rice sourced from a single-origin farm in Arkansas. Blue Ridge Mountain water, renowned for its purity, provides a pristine base that allows the sake to develop a clean and nuanced profile. Titan rice, with its unique characteristics, is the perfect partner, ensuring that each sip of Oishii Sake is a testament to craftsmanship and care.
The brewing process behind Oishii Sake is as meticulous as its ingredient selection. The sake is crafted with just four ingredients, eschewing the need for sulfates and maintaining a low ABV, making it not only a (literally) delicious but also a better-for-you choice in the realm of alcoholic beverages. This simplicity in the ingredient list highlights Oishii’s commitment to purity and authenticity, offering a drink that is both refined and approachable.
“We are thrilled to introduce Oishii Sake to the world. We are confident that with the first sip, our sake will leave a lasting impression and have consumers asking for it by name," said Buzzy Sklar, CEO of Kintsugi Sake LLC. "Our passion for craftsmanship and dedication to quality is evident in every aspect of our product. From the selection of premium ingredients to the meticulous brewing process, Oishii Sake represents the pinnacle of Japanese tradition infused with a touch of American ingenuity. We believe great rice + great water = great sake™."
Oishii Sake is available in two distinct varieties: Cloudy and Clear Junmai. Each type offers a unique taste experience that caters to different preferences and occasions.
The Cloudy Oishii Nigori, with its unfiltered, cloudy appearance, delivers a flavor profile that is light and sweet, with inviting notes of banana and melon. This variety brings a playful complexity to the glass, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a slightly sweeter, more textured drink. The Cloudy Nigori’s rich, creamy mouthfeel and fruity undertones make it a versatile option that pairs beautifully with a range of dishes, from light salads to spicy cuisines.
On the other hand, the Clear Oishii Sake presents a more delicate and refined flavor profile. With notes of pear and melon, this clear sake is crisp and refreshing, offering a clean finish that complements a variety of foods. Its subtle sweetness and smooth texture make it an ideal choice for those who prefer a lighter, more sophisticated sake experience. Whether enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to a meal, the Clear Oishii Sake embodies the elegance and versatility that modern consumers are seeking.
In a market saturated with an overwhelming amount of sake options, Oishii Sake stands out for its authenticity, quality and understandability. Whether you are a seasoned sake enthusiast or new to the world of Japanese rice wine, Oishii Sake provides a delightful exploration of flavors that are sure to impress, it’s the sake you can call for by name.
