Do you like drinking? If you so, must try Japanese SAKE!
It’s become popular in Asia, US, and Europe nowadays.

However, SAKE has a lots of variety like wine or beer.
In Japan, we have around 1,500 SAKE brewery and It is said
that the number of brands will be over 20,000 types.

If you’re not so familiar with SAKE, it will be difficult to find which one suits you.
I've been working for a food magazine long time, so I have much information about food and drink. It's mean I can offer you much variety of that and advise you which SAKE suits your taste, what food suits for each type of it. Finally, you'll find your own special combination!
