Book Description
New York Times
"A lively, clear guide to a subject just waiting to be discovered by the inscrutable West."
Product Description:
Anyone who has ever been to Japan has probably fallen under the spell of a soothing cup of sake at one time or
another. An encounter with Japan's favorite libation is bound to be memorable, yet despite its growing popularity worldwide, information on this eminently drinkable beverage remains scarce.
Written by a British expatriate who has spent more than
seven years brewing sake in the exacting traditional method, The Insider's Guide to Sake is the consummate introductory handbook. It unravels the history and intricacies of this exotic drink, and provides an extensive list of restaurants and retail
outlets in Japan, the United States, and Europe where the beverage in all its variety can be found. In The Guide you will discover over 100 sakes for all tastes and pocketbooks, tips for beginners and connoisseurs alike, and a knowledgeable explanation
of the brew-master's skills. Labels and specs for each selected sake are displayed in a concise, easy-to-follow format.
Whether you are a gourmet, a wine lover, or just enjoy the occasional thirst-quencher, The Insider's Guide to Sake offers a
fascinating, broad-ranging introduction to this compelling refreshment--in a refreshingly compelling manner.
