While TY KU White is only the second saké to win a medal at the San Francisco Competition, it is the first beverage ever to receive the distinguished Six Star Diamond award. Esteemed hotel and restaurant properties are former recipients, and their support should pave a natural path for TY KU, as the first beverage honored, to climb to the top shelf summit.
