Sensational Saké

Date: Wednesday, May 20
The Delivery: A sampling of Takara Saké's delicious-looking wares, including Nigori Crème de Saké and Hana flavored saké infused with lychee, Fuji apple, plum, and raspberry.
Staff Pick: Lychee Hana flavored saké

The DL: Don't worry about the "crème" in the Nigori saké. This misnomer refers to this Japanese beverage's cloudy appearance, not to any dairy products contained within. So, feel free to pour a glassfull and clink glasses with your dining companion next time you're sharing some veg sushi. We're looking forward to a few more saké deliveries this week in anticipation of our upcoming saké taste test. Stay tuned!

Saké To Me

Date: Thursday, May 7
The Delivery: A couple bottles of saké, and Emily's Desserts coffee and vegan cocoa mix
Staff Pick: We're eager to shake things up a little with Momokawa's organic, premium saké

The DL: Love it or hate it, we're happy to see that there is an organic, vegan saké on the market. And this may not be the only brand coming through our door. Stay tuned for a tantalizing taste test in a future issue of VegNews. Bottoms up!
