Sake is beautiful.
Sake, also called Nihonshu (meaning Japanese Alcohol) has a long storied tradition in the Island nation dating back over 2,000 years. From its humble origins in the back country of Japanese farms to the raising popularity of high end Omakase restaurants worldwide, sake has become one of the fastest growing beverages internationally.
From its home of Japan to newbie sake producing countries like the United States of America, Spain and Mexico, sake production grows year after year. Sake is known to be one of the most diverse beverages for food pairings due to the high umami nuances and delicate acidity, sake can pair beautifully with non-Japanese flavors too such as your Italian favorites, Mexican cuisine, Southern BBQ or a simple yet delicious Charcuterie & Cheese Board.
The flavor profiles can be quite diverse depending on location, water source, rice variety and brewing techniques, each region unique with its own terroir and each brewer unique with their own delicate touch. Sake is one of the world’s most dynamic drinks steeped in tradition, folk-lore and technology. You will enjoy 9 lovey & delicious Sake of the evening...
