Organic vs. Natural

Is Sake High! organic or natural? With so many options at the grocery store it’s important to know what ingredients are in your beverages and where the ingredients are sourced. And how do you know if what’s in your glass is clean, organic, or natural? Here’s the facts and why organic is not always the best option.


Is Organic Better?

Let’s start from the beginning. Organic foods are grown without artificial pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides. Organic meat, eggs, and dairy products are derived from animals that are fed natural feed and not given hormones or antibiotics. Organic is strictly regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) and FDA. It costs tremendous amounts of money to go through the organic process because you have to hire a licensed agent to approve everything from farming practices to the copaking to the warehouse. To go through the organic certification process is costly, especially for small businesses, breweries, and start ups like Sake High!. Many small businesses, breweries, farms, and startups don’t pay the certification fees until they grow bigger and have the money to do so. Still, small businesses and breweries like Sake High!, still care about sourcing its ingredients with intention and avoiding hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives.


Is Sake High! Organic?

Sake High! emphasizes quality from start to finish but it is not organic due to the steep fees. It’s costly to send an organic certified agent to Japan to the farm where the rice is grown and to the brewery to oversee all brewing practice and techniques,


But every Sake High! can and bottle is well sourced with ingredients local to Kyoto and brewing processes that have been used at the brewery for 120 years. Although Sake High! Is not organic it is labeled all natural to reflect the traditional techniques with no intervention that create the authentic sake taste in Sake High!.


All Natural

The health revolution over the past two decades have really changed the modern consumer’s buying habits at the store, purchasing mostly organic items. So why is Sake High! proud to label Sake High! as all natural?

Natural foods and drinks are free of synthetic or artificial ingredients or additives. That means no artificial colors/flavors, no artificial preservatives, no GMOs. Natural is a good label for businesses that cannot afford to pay for the organic certification but still care about initiatives for the planet that promote biodiversity and stay true to clean and healthy ingredients.


Sake High! is all natural. Sake High! is NOT heavily processed and there are no additives like sulfites. Sake High! is made with minimal practices, always conscious of its environmental impact. Sake High! is so unique because it sources its sake from a brewery that uses exceptionally good natural spring water under the large bedrock the city of Kyoto sits on. You can tell the quality of the ingredients by distinguished fruity Ginjo aroma and dry, crisp and clean taste.


Sake High! sources its sake from a brewery that takes pride in preserving Japan’s tradition and land in Kyoto.
