Ty Ku For You
October 13th, 2009 by
When contemporary packaging and ancient brewing processes combine, the results are both delicious and eye-catching. Ty Ku sakes are a super premium class of sake, which have been awarded the coveted classifications of Junmai Ginjo (top 10% of all sake) and Junmai Daiginjo (top 5% of all sake) for Ty Ku sake and Ty Ku White, respectively. For those who are not satisfied with mere top quality sake, the vessels which carry this special brand of the “drink of the gods” have won the prestigious iF product design from the International Forum Design in Hannover, Germany, and it is an award well-earned. When you lift a bottle of Ty Ku sake liquer – arguably the first liquer made from sake – you get another first: an LED bulb lights up the frosted glass bottle.
Marketed as a healthy alternative sugary liquers, the liquer made by Ty Ku uses 20 different herbal ingredients, including pomegranate, Asian pear, Fuji apple, oolong and green tea, and for good measure, aphrodisiacs like ginseng and dragon’s eye. Its use elderberry instead of other sugars mean it can be used to make a number of 100-calorie cocktails. Ty Ku sakes can be found at bars, clubs, and liquor markets nationwide.
