Sake – a world of its own.
JAPANESE PREMIUM SAKE –
neither rice schnapps
nor rice wine.
Sometimes fruity and fresh, sometimes elegantly dry, sometimes deeply umami. Surprisingly versatile – and a great match for almost anything.
RISING SAKE brings Japan’s national drink
into glasses across Germany – through tastings, food pairings and into your gastronomy.
