Alongside infused liquors, consumers can now enjoy flavored sake thanks to brand TY KU and its creation of a cucumber sake. This contemporary take on the traditional drink adds new aromas making the beverage more versatile for at-home bartenders.
Sake is a popular beverage that is most notably enjoyed in North America alongside Asian cuisine such as sushi. TY KU is aiming to give sake a more modern spin by creating flavored sakes such like this cucumber one that boasts a relaxing spa-like experience ideal for "apres yoga." The drink can be enjoyed on its own with add cucumber slices for garnish. Currently TY KU also offers a coconut infused sake as well, but hopefully they will add more flavors to the collection.
Japanese beverages are receiving more popularity outside of Asian eateries calling for more variety in beverage flavor for the everyday consumer to enjoy.
