Whether you are a connoisseur or uninitiated and curious, this varied selection of four premium sake varieties delivers a superb experience, showcasing the rich diversity of Japanese sake production.
Sake, often referred to as Japanese rice wine, is a traditional drink deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Unlike wine, which is made by fermenting the sugars in fruit, sake is produced through a brewing process similar to beer. It starts with steamed rice, water, and koji mould, the koji converts the rice starches into fermentable sugars.
Each bottle has been thoughtfully chosen to highlight the unique flavours, aromas and finishes of each sake brewery.

Sake and Food Pairing

For instance, a dry sake pairs beautifully with delicate flavours like sushi and tempura, while a sweeter sake can enhance the richness of grilled meats and vegetables. Ginjo and daiginjo sakes, with their light and fragrant profiles, are perfect for lighter dishes, whereas junmai sake, with its robust flavour, pairs well with heartier fare such as roast meats or stews.
