Greetings, Nomidachi!

Please join us tomorrow, August 9 when we will be "launching" some very special products from Seattle sake producer, Cedar River Brewing.

We're excited to introduce Seattle sake lovers to a couple Cedar River varities brewed with US-grown sakamai (sake rice), Yamada Nishiki.

Until very recently, nearly all the domestically produced sake in the U.S. has been brewed using California-grown "table rice," and the results have more or less spoken for themselves, not usually in a good way.  Having proper high-quality sake rice available to American sake breweries is a potential game changer.

If you have a chance, please stop by Wednesday and meet Cedar River Brewing's owner/brewer, Jeff James.  All the sake featured at the event will be available for purchase by the glass, flight, and bottle.

Hey There, Nomidachi!

 Limited seasonal release! The “glacier saké,” from a brewery established in 1603.  Soft and light with mild fruit notes of lychee and melon.  The overall impression is “clean and cool.”  Long, lingering finish begins dry, but has a burst of fruit at the end.  The limited run of 1500 bottles was aged at -5° C.  
$50/720 ml bottle (10% case discount on quantities of 6 or more bottles)

We anticipate bringing in extra inventory of all the limited seasonal sake mentioned above this Friday.  If you are interested in ordering a bottle or two or three or more (Please don’t forget we’ve instituted Phase One of the 4-year “Buy a bottle, send a kid to college” campaign), please let us know by Noon on Thursday, August 24, and the bottles will be available in-store on Friday, August 25.
