What will those green boozehounds think of next? First it was organic wine, then organic vodka, then flavored organic vodka, and now, according to Cocktail Organico, Sake!

Because of labelling standards differing between the U.S. and Japan, it can’t be labelled organic, but Joto Sake (their site exhaustively describes the sake-making process) is going to be bringing the stuff to our shores under the label “high ecological standards.” Their sake is made in the tradional way using the yamahai and kimoto methods, since I know you were curious.
