RiCE No.O5 AUTUMN 2O17

Special Feature Kanpai to Sake

There are very few alcoholic beverages which divide opinion as sharply as sake. Everyone has their own preferences, and no one likes to be told to drink something that doesn’t match their palate. But the tradition of brewing delicious sake has existed since antiquity here in Japan, and its techniques and philosophies have been carefully handed down through the generations. No one can object, surely, to learning more of this culture. Brewed from rice, kōji mold and water, it is a drink of remarkable complexity and potential. Welcome to the exciting world of sake, filled with a diverse range of magnificent brews, created by a land uniquely blessed by nature.
