Sake is an alcoholic beverage made from polished (white) rice.
With its long history, sake is a part of Japanese culture.
Sake is a fermented beverage like wine and is not distilled like a spirit. Its alcoholic strength is around 15-17% abv. (vs. 12-14% abv. of wine). Major ingredients of sake are short-grained non-glutenous rice,
water, moldy rice called koji and yeast. Sake-making processes involve saccharification (starch-to-sugar conversion) and alcohol fermentation.
Sake is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, organic acids and many other nutrients that are good for the body. It is said that there are over 700 different nutrients in sake.
The most notable of these is the fact that it contains all the essential amino acids, which cannot be produced by the human body. The volume of amino acids is
about 10 times that of wine. Sake helps to obtain a beautiful skin, and to promote blood -circulation (easing a stiff neck and recovering from fatigue), anti-aging, and health (as preventive medicine).
Probably sake is the only alcoholic beverage you can enjoy drinking at different temperatures ranging from around 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, depending on the type and style of
sake and the food to accompany with. You will pour sake, cooled or warmed, into a small cup made of earthenware, porcelain, wood, glass, etc. or a larger glass, wine glass, etc. Wine glasses may be recommendable to enjoy more of aroma. You can also make cocktails of sake.
Located in Aichi prefecture.
The main Brand is “NITO(two rabits)”
Maruishi Brewing started making sake in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture in 1690. Since then, we have been making sake for more than 330 years.
Okazaki City, where the storehouse is located, has an old history of the birthplace of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, who built the Taihei era of Edo, and on the other hand, it is a land where you can feel the rich nature surrounded by mountains and rivers. They have tried to create the best balance between two contradictory things: flavor and aroma, acid and umami, heavy and light, sweet and spicy, complex and beautiful, so the brand name is “NITO” . You know the proverb, “They who runs after two hares will catch neither.”
But it is “They who runs after to fares will catch both.”
Sake is also a Japanese culture. Recently, sake is very popular with people from all over the world, including the United States, China, and Hong Kong. Introducing recommended sake that can be paired with not only Japanese dishes such as sushi but also various dishes such as Italian, French, and Chinese. Sake is said to have good effects on both beauty and health. By all means, I hope to connect with cross-border relationships through sake.
