日本酒

Recently, the world has begun to take an interest in Japanese sake, a traditional alcoholic beverage made from rice, water, and rice malt. Sake is much loved by Japanese people, for whom rice is a staple food. While sake is made from rice, the rice’s variety, place of production, and the water used for its cultivation all affect the sake’s flavor. For this reason, breweries can be found throughout Japan, each producing their own unique sakes. If you visit our store, please try some local sake from Hiroshima’s breweries.

Japanese sake can be roughly divided into four types.
If you’re new to sake, we recommend starting with the easy to drink light/fresh type.
In addition to Japanese food, our sakes pair nicely with cheese, dried fruit, and meat. First, select your preferred type.
