TY KU Premium Sake & Spirits Announces Partnership With Patti Stanger, the Star of Bravo's "Millionaire Matchmaker"

NEW YORK, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TY KU Premium Sake & Naturally Low Calorie Asian Spirits is excited to announce its new partnership with Patti Stanger, the star of Bravo's "Millionaire Matchmaker."  Stanger is a third generation matchmaker who founded the Millionaires Club in January 2000.  Since then, she has added bestselling author, radio host, and executive producer of her own DVD to her growing list of credits.  Patti has always been a sake enthusiast and a huge fan of TY KU Sake, prompting her to become an owner and partner in the brand. 

TY KU Sake is a perfect match for Patti, as she follows a strict low calorie and gluten free lifestyle.  TY KU Sake is one of the few alcoholic beverages on the market that is all natural and completely gluten free.  As a matchmaker, Patti knows the key to love, romance and of course how to make a lasting impression.  As a TY KU partner, Patti will be active in the day to day business of the brand, educating consumers and working to solidify TY KU as the trusted name in the premium sake category. 

As a lover of sake for its smooth flavor and healthier properties, Patti Stanger is proud to partner with the very best in class—TY KU.  Unlike wine, sake is naturally free of sulfites and tannins and with a lower alcohol proof, is a more responsible beverage to enjoy on a date, as compared with high proof alcohol spirits.  Stanger says of the new partnership, "I have always had an eye for the right chemistry and my relationship with TY KU is a perfect match. I am excited to spread the word about TY KU—simply the best—and educate consumers about the all-natural, low calorie and health conscious nature of TY KU Sake & Spirits. The TY KU Sake portfolio is low calorie, gluten-free, sulfite free and tannin free, so it fits my healthy lifestyle and might even tempt me to rethink my two drink maximum rule for first dates."

After launching in Las Vegas, NV several years ago, TY KU has steadily built out its premium portfolio of products and established trusted distributor partnerships across the U.S.  In 2011, TY KU's growth extended into all 50 states with two distinct award winning portfolios: TY KU Sake and TY KU Spirits.  With the rapid rise of Asian / Asian Fusion, TY KU indentified the need in the marketplace for consumers to experience the world's best—a trusted, called upon name in the premium sake category and, on the spirits side, a recognized brand in premium soju, the #1 selling distilled spirit in the world, which is naturally 1/2 the calories of vodka.
