| Icy cold Coconut Water is so tasty refreshing...and this coconut packaging container-by Thailand's Pearl Royal- transports us to the source-in a manner of speaking...with a neat string rope to close/open the top that wins our top pick for cool packaging. It comes with a tiny plastic straw-too-that imo-should be replaced with a paper one. |
 |
| can see from up top-Pearl River...the string opens and closes the tiny opening-sized perfectly- that accesses the delish coconut water...where the straw goes. Nifty! |
 |
| CUTEEEE! the ginger people-mascot is a big cuddly looking ginger root that has teddy bear appeal for all ages. Found on 2 labels for yummy sweet-savory toppings that appeal to the young+old. The USDA Organic Syrup is an aromatic syrup-saturate morning pancakes-or add a tbsp or two -to Southern style BBQ sauces. The USDA Organic Ginger Spread-is that hybrid of jam and decidedly gooey sweet Nutella-paste-like-great as a toast topper... but with the healthier pops of savory sweet ginger in the mix. We can see this atop steamed veggies-like carrots -too. Both are non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free. |
 |
| . STRAIGHT UP TEA-smartly labels the sweet level directly...sorta sweet, sweet (via sugar), and unsweetened...in black line=up. Also offered-honey green and naturally sweetish rooibos teas too. No artificial anything. |

| The glass bottle shape-kinda reminded us of bourbon booze bottles (appropriate given the Iwashi whisky barrel aged fish sauce)...and the beautiful labels...really caught our eyeballs. HAKU Iwashi Fish Sauce-is first aged 2 years-then spends an extra 12 months in a whisky barrel...with a fatty anchovy robust flavor. We tasted the Smoked Shoyu-imo-really has multiple layers-bold-with umami hints-that we love. It's also aged and then cold smoked using Mizunara-a Japanese hard oak wood. We didn't try the Sakura Cherry Blossom Shoyu-it's cherry blossoms dipped in red shiso vinegar brine and added to aging barrels of white shiso-for a year. We bet all of these would add appealing flavors to braised+steamed fish, and even adding pop to dipping sauces. ALL=Available on Amazon, iGourmet...etc |
