First USDA Certified Organic Sak Set To Release In June

Momokawa Organic Nigori and Ginjo (Junmai) will flow off the bottling line at the end of May to take its place as the first sak produced under USDA organic standards. The parent company, SakOne is the first sak brewery to gain organic certification and did so only after meeting the rigorously defined requirements of the USDA and internationally acclaimed organic certifier Oregon Tilth.

"The certification means a guarantee to our customers that the Momokawa sak carrying the USDA seal are as clean and simple as nature would appreciate them being. That they are brewed from certified organic rice, yeast, koji, and that all processes and aids are certified having met the strict standards of the USDA and our certifying agency Oregon Tilth" noted Greg Lorenz, Sakmaster. "Being the first Kura (sak brewery) in the world to attain USDA certification is a credit to our entire team and Oregon Tilth who helped us through the process."

SakOne will bottle two different sak under the Momokawa brand; Organic Nigori and Organic Ginjo (Junmai). Both will come in 750 ML and 375 ML bottles that clearly communicate the difference between Momokawa and Momokawa Organic. The organic bottle strays from SakOne's signature blue glass and embraces the more easily recycled green. The cap is short to minimize the use of raw materials and is itself recyclable. Labels are printed on "Tree Free" paper made from bamboo and grasses, and carry a different look and feel than the traditional Momokawa line while retaining the iconic Tori Gate image.

"We've worked to address everything we can to create a sustainable sak," noted Steve Boone, President and CEO of SakOne. Our team is working on various ways to reduce our environmental impact and the first to come to life is our organic sak. It's the first of its kind. USDA certified, brewed in the U.S. and packed with thoughtful intent. And, its truly wonderful sak. Early taste tests of both styles are very exciting," added Boone.

Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO) is an internationally recognized symbol of organic integrity.

SakOne is the leading brewer and importer of premium sak in America with distribution throughout the U.S. and the Americas. SakOne crafts sak under the Momokawa (traditional styles), Moonstone (fruit infused), G (cask strength), Peaceful River (for restaurants only) brands, and imports sak from Momokawa Brewing Japan under the Murai Family label.
