Japanese sake, with its unique flavor and rich history, has captivated people around the world. Among women in their 30s and 40s, Japanese sake is gaining attention as a new trend. The reasons lie in its harmony with food culture and the possibility of being health-conscious.

An Invitation to Your First Sake

The world of Japanese sake is profound, and for beginners, we recommend starting with “Ginjo-shu” or “Junmai-shu”. These types of sake allow you to enjoy the inherent taste of rice and a fruity aroma, making them ideal for an introduction to Japanese sake. Also, experimenting with the taste of sake at different temperatures, whether chilled or warm, can be enjoyable.

The Distinctive Local Characteristics that Color Sake

An indispensable part of talking about the allure of Japanese sake is the individuality of its production regions. Japan is dotted with distinctive sake-producing areas, among which the following three are particularly famous:

• Niigata Prefecture: Known for its clear water and high-quality rice, producing fruity and smooth sake.
• Hyogo Prefecture: The home of “Yamada Nishiki,” the highest grade of sake rice, and known for producing well-balanced sake.
• Kyoto Prefecture: Sake made in this historic region is characterized by its delicate and refined taste.

Sake from these regions allows you to enjoy a variety of flavors nurtured by the natural environment and culture of each area. Please take pleasure in finding your “one bottle”.
