Discover the New Wave of Sake: Try American-Made Oishii this World Sake Day - October 1st
Most people associate sake with Japanese food - either a sake bomb on a night out with friends or an expensive bottle at a high-end sushi restaurant. American-made Oishii Sake is aiming to disrupt that connotation.
Oishii is the fresh face of sake that’s making waves with its bold statement: ‘Sake, not just for sushi anymore™’. Miami founder Buzzy Sklar launched Oishii, hoping that consumers would pair it with everything from pizza to tacos to steak. This innovative, freshly launched brand is setting out to revolutionize how we experience sake with its blend of authentic Japanese craftsmanship and American ingenuity.
Oishii sake is crafted using pristine Blue Ridge Mountain water and premium Titan rice from a single-origin farm in Arkansas and then brewed in Charlottesville, Virginia. It’s wallet-friendly too, with a suggested retail of $29.99. The brand launched with two iterations of Oishii: cloudy and clear.
Cloudy Oishii Nigori: This variety is a delightful, lightly sweet sake with tantalizing notes of banana and melon, perfect for those who love a smooth, fruity profile.
Clear Oishii Sake: Crisp and refreshing, with subtle hints of pear and melon, this sake is an elegant choice for any occasion.
Oishii directly translates to “delicious” and can be enjoyed on its own or in a cocktail. World Sake Day is coming up on October 1 and enjoying brand-new Oishii is the perfect way to celebrate!
Consumers can enjoy Oishii out and about throughout Miami, including at top sushi spots like Makoto and Ke-uH (located inside Acqualina Resort), the sake bar Shōjō's Dojo and neighborhood joint Bob’s Your Uncle.
For those looking to hone in on their bartender skills, they can pick up a bottle and make a cocktail at home. The Lychee Sakatini™ and Samurai Spritz are the perfect place to start.
