The Best Ways to Enjoy Japanese Sake
Japanese sake differs from any other kind of rice wine in its taste and how it’s produced. Crafted through a meticulous fermentation process that lasts several weeks, sake combines 3 key ingredients: rice, water, and yeast. The end result is sweet and umami-flavoured alcohol that can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with other beverages. Sake will suit drinkers who prefer something light and fruity. Experience the difference of quality Japanese sake from renowned brands like Biwa Junmaidaiginjo and Chiyomusubi Sorah. Browse Japanese Quality Whisky Society’s collection today.
There are a few different types of Japanese sake that you can choose from: Junmai, Ginjo, Daiginjo, Honjozo, Futsushu, Nigori, and Namazake. Japanese sake can be served warm or hot, cold, or at room temperature depending on the type you choose. Japanese sake is traditionally served in a small porcelain or ceramic cup, called an ‘ochoko’ or ‘sakazuki’. The best way to drink it is to sip it like wine, alone or to complement appetisers or a meal.
Japanese sake enhances salty, bitter, sour, sweet, and umami flavours so you have the creative freedom to match it up with various dishes from a range of cuisines. It’s no surprise that sake will pair best with Japanese food. For a delicate palate match, you should drink your sake with sushi or sashimi. If you’re looking for a hearty combination, sake makes the perfect accompaniment to grilled meats and vegetables, tempura, and fried seafood dishes. Sake is also an exquisite companion to go with matcha or red bean desserts. With western dishes, we recommend serving sake with steak or pork belly.
