Sake

Some products are associated with a specific place in the world and have become a permanent part of people's consciousness as an element of national tradition. This is the case with sake. Although it is most commonly associated with Japan, it actually originates from China. It is an alcoholic beverage that undergoes a fermentation process and is made from rice, yeast, water, and koji mold. In our wholesale store, you can find many products that come from different regions and have different aromas. Some of them are very sweet and fruity, while others have a floral aroma and a subtle taste.

Sake is also often associated with wine. However, the production of such beverages resembles the beer production process more closely. This is because it is based on rice, which is a grain, and not made from fruits, as is the case with wine. However, when considering flavors and aromas, they are more similar to wine than to beer.

The use of selected ingredients

Sake producers also use other ingredients to extract the desired aroma. In our wholesale store, you can find products made from crystal-clear water from Mount Rokko. Such an addition combined with fruity aromas allows for a refreshing drink with a light and subtle taste. Additionally, the products use rice previously inoculated with the mold culture Aspergillus Oryzae, which allows starch to be converted into fermentable sugars.

Tradition of serving and consuming sake

Since this alcohol is considered one of the national symbols by the Japanese, its serving and consumption also has its own tradition. It is worth knowing that it is served in designated vessels, and additionally, one cannot pour the drink for oneself. Only the person accompanying you can do that. There are many such rules, and it is definitely worth knowing them to learn more about this culture. We also encourage you to explore the varieties of sake that our wholesale offers and delve into the aromas of individual products.
