Often called the ‘Drink of the Gods’ by the Japanese, premium sake is like fine wine. Each brand has its own distinctive flavours and is paired with food in much the same way as wine. With names such as ‘Divine Droplets’; ‘Wandering Poet’ and ‘Snow Maiden’, premium sake brewers are family artisans, distilling their sake by hand using the purest ingredients sourced from around Japan. Kris Madden talks to the Sake Samurai; explores the role of sake in Japanese culture and reveals where to visit Japan’s premium sake breweries.
