Jim Galtieri commented.' I was immediately attracted to the unique nature of Wokka Saki, it is a brand with considerable depth of character, and after trying a WOKKA SAKi martini for the first time, that was it, I was hooked ! '

Wokka Saki will be launched in Miami and New York early in the new year with a targeted bar campaign - codenamed 'Operation Kimono'. Further supply contracts throughout the world are currently being negotiated and will be signed off over the next few weeks. Extreme Spirits anticipate announcing their UK distributor early in the New Year.

EDITORIAL NOTE:
WOKKA SAKi is a blend of micro distilled grain vodka, fine Japanese sake and a subtle flavour of Asian fruit. East meets west, sake meets vodka, WOKKA SAKi is the fusion of two noble cultures, and inspired by the awesome beauty of 'Snow Monsters' found around Japan's Asahi Mountains between January and March.

WOKKA SAKi has won gold medals for two consecutive years running 2003 & 2004 at the San Francisco international Spirits Competition.

Inspiration: The 'Snow Monster' story
Each year between January and March, powerful winds from the Siberian plains whip the surface of the Sea of Japan, becoming heavy with freezing vapour before hitting the Japanese coast and rising high over the Asahi mountains.Standing in their path, giant conifers on the slopes of Mount Zao become coated with layer upon layer of snow and ice, until eventually their shapes are obscured and distorted. These petrified giants seem to stalk the valleys and are known as 'Snow Monsters' or 'Juhyo'. Their awesome beauty is celebrated at Mount Zao's annual Snow Monster festival.

WOKKA SAKi is personified by the creation of the Snow Monsters: The western wind (represented by vodka), the eastern environment (sake) and the dramatic, beautiful and unique outcome ( WOKKA SAKi).

WOKKA SAKi is a brand owned by Extreme Spirits Ltd. For further information please contact:
