“We often drink sake at Japanese restaurants, but how do we enjoy it at home?”
This question from foreign guests inspired me to create this website.
There is a Sake boom abroad, and many people are captivated by its charm.
However, when it comes to drinking Sake at home, outside of Japanese restaurants, there is often confusion about what food to pair it with, how to drink it, and other details.
Like wine and beer, Sake is constantly evolving. Local Sake, in particular, has become a fascinating field, showcasing regional characteristics and the unique preferences of its makers.
Sake can be paired with many different types of food; its “range of flavors” is very broad, allowing you to enjoy it with any cuisine on any occasion.
I hope this site provides an opportunity for you to enjoy sake at your dinner table, especially with ingredients from my hometown, Azumino.
