True Sake Newsletter No. 249 - 🌸 May Is Flowered With Sake Blossoms 🌸

Welcome to the 249th issue of America’s sake-centric Newsletter. In this 20th consecutive May Issue, check out what Stuart Morris is doing with his newest sake venture called Hachidori from Yamagata Prefecture (then join us with Stuart on May 10th in the store to taste his entire line up for free), see who won one of the most prestigious sake brewing awards in Japan (hint, hint…Tonoike Shuzo’s Toji Makato Ono-san), then have some fun when the True Sake Crew asked Ono-san some questions for a Toji (awesome answers), then behold so many seasonally released spring namas that there are too many to shake a stick at, feast on a record setting Junmai Daiginjo called SUPER 7 in the Baller Sake Section, circle your calendar for May’s in-store free sake tasting schedule, go to the Beau-Zone Layer with a sake that’s so good we gave it to the True Sake Team for the Holidays,  take a gander at the delicious New Store Arrivals, Taste with KJ as she takes Hakurakusei to a Taiwanese restaurant, and don’t forget to say the SECRET WORD.
