Sake
Sake is an alcoholic beverage, made by fermenting rice. Sake is dated to more than a thousand years ago in Japan and over time Sake has evolved into an extremely refined beverage. As Sake is intended to be a social drink, there is a Japanese custom that you shouldn’t fill your own cup of Sake, someone else at the table must pour it for you. This is to ensure you always drink with friends. The traditional toast for Sake is “Kanpai!”
Junmai
Junmai means ‘Pure rice Sake’. Brewed using only rice, koji (mould), water and yeast with no additives. Considered a good food match due to its richness and strength of flavour.
Ginjo
Made with rice polished between 51% – 60%. A premium level sake.
Daiginjo
Made with rice polished to at least 50% (often much more). An ultra premium level sake.
Nigori
Cloudy sake. Partially filtered to retain some of the rice sediment that provides a chalky or rich creamy mouthfeel depending on the degree of filtration.
Kimoto
A traditional method of making sake whereby koji (mould) is allowed time to sit and dissolve the rice over a longer period of time than other methods. Kimoto sakes typically display a wild gamey flavour.
