Say “kanpai!”
Drinking culture runs deep in Japan, and sake is undoubtedly the country’s drink of choice. Known more commonly in Japan as nihonshu, sake comes in a range of flavor profiles and proofs and can be enjoyed hot, cold, or at room temperature. There are a number of sake types, classified according to ingredients, production methods, and the degree of rice polishing. Sake is produced in almost every prefecture, and many regions are known for specific flavor profiles, which tend to pair particularly well with their local specialties.
