Introducing Rock Sake ... Ultra-Premium Sake Made From All Natural Ingredients, With a Name and Taste to Remember
LOS ANGELES, May 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The continued growth of sake sales in the United States is undeniable. Americans are drinking more sake than ever and desire a high quality, all-natural, domestic product. Rock Sake, a California based supplier of ultra-premium sakes is pleased to introduce Rock Sake Junmai Ginjo and Rock Sake Cloud. Both new sakes are made with all-natural rice from the Sacramento Valley and fresh mountain spring water from Oregon. Rock Sake is the only domestically produced, ultra-premium sake with a brand name that is easy to pronounce and a bottle that stands out on the shelf.
Sake is a spirit which is rich in heritage and tradition. It's the national drink of Japan and is about a $9 billion market there. Not until the early 1900's has sake been available in the U.S., primarily consumed in Japanese or sushi restaurants. However, in recent years sake has found its way into trendy fusion restaurants, bars and lounges and is often ordered in cocktails or by the bottle. Today, there are more than 600 types of sake sold in the United States but not one particular brand stands out in the consumer's mind – until now.
Rock Sake combines the long-standing values of Japanese produced sake with a modern day style of brewing. It's smooth, fresh flavor is hand-crafted using only the finest ingredients including all-natural rice polished down to 60%, and pure mountain spring water. Rock Sake Junmai Ginjo comes in a stunning white frosted bottle and Rock Sake Cloud in a blue frosted bottle. Both packages feature a stylish bamboo design and list the respective type of sake in English.
Rock Sake Junmai Ginjo reflects the ancient tradition of Japanese sake with fresh taste and quality for the modern palate. This ultra-premium sake does not contain sulfites, preservatives or additives. Rock Sake Junmai Ginjo has a distinct taste of purity and should be served chilled straight or in a mixed drink.
Rock Sake Cloud is nigori sake. Intentionally less filtered, nigori means "cloudy" and is the most traditional type of sake. Rock Sake Cloud is junmai ginjo sake that is roughly filtered leaving it with an opaque color and sweeter taste. There is no distilled alcohol added during the brewing process of Rock Sake Cloud which is consistent with its all-natural, pure taste. Rock Sake Cloud should be served chilled straight or in a cocktail.
"I am incredibly proud to announce Rock Sake," says Seth Podell, Founder of Rock Sake and creator of the brand. "I have been drinking sake for many years but have always found the ordering process to be daunting; the names are all in Japanese and the bottles impossible to read. As I watched the popularity of sake increase, I saw an obvious market need for an ultra-premium brand that is easy to pronounce, with a consistent and delicious taste. So far, the response from expert and novice consumers has been fantastic. Rock Sake is definitely in a position to become a top selling sake brand in the very near future."
Rock Sake has become the sake of choice by patrons in some of America's hottest restaurants and bars like Katsuya, Koi and Geisha House in Los Angeles and Japonais in Chicago. Rock Sake can also be found on cocktail lists at non-Asian locations like Beverly Hills Montage Hotel and US Grant Grill in San Diego. Retail consumers can find Rock Sake on store shelves in food markets like Henry's Markets and other chain stores in the near future. Look for Rock Sake at local food and wine festivals, celebrity events and local fundraisers. For more information visit: www.rocksake.com.
