We’re big fans of Momokawa sake or saké, which is brewed outside Portland, Oregon by the SakeOne corporation. Our favorite is their unfiltered Pearl, a sweet premium saké that is cloudy and white and usually drunk chilled, like wine.

Momokawa saké can also be used for making cocktails, which they call “sakétinis.”
