How To Choose Sake?
When choosing sake, consider the type, such as Junmai for a rich, full-bodied flavour or Junmai Daiginjo for a lighter, delicate, and more aromatic taste.
You can also select based on the flavour profile and dryness level—whether you prefer a crisp, fruity, and aromatic dry sake or a rich, umami style. The serving temperature, either warm or cold, can further enhance the taste and experience.
