Organic sake

Momokawa sake in Oregon will launch the first USDA certified sakes in June. But they're not changing over the entire production:

SakéOne will bottle two different saké under the Momokawa brand; Organic Nigori and Organic Ginjo (Junmai). Both will come in 750 ML and 375 ML bottles that clearly communicate the difference between Momokawa and Momokawa Organic. The organic bottle strays from SakéOne's signature blue glass and embraces the more easily recycled green. The cap is short to minimize the use of raw materials and is itself recyclable. Labels are printed on "Tree Free" paper made from bamboo and grasses, and carry a different look and feel than the traditional Momokawa line while retaining the iconic Tori Gate image.

I'm curious about the "more easily recycled green" glass. I've read that green glass is harder to recycle and is less recycled than other colors (though I'm sure it's more recycled than blue). Like green glass, brown glass is colored with metals according to this website, so I'm not sure whether or not it's easier or harder to recycle than green glass. I'll have to look into this later.

Anyway, congrats to Momokawa for taking the extra step.
