Special drinks

Sake is known as brewed and undistilled rice wine. In Japanese, “Sake” means alcoholic drinks in general. The sake often referred to in the world is Nihonshu (日本酒), a traditional Japanese wine. For the people of Fusang, Sake is not only a favorite drink, but also a symbol, the "national wine".

When Sake was newly introduced, it was only for the royal family, and the upper class, and was often served in major events. Later, Sake became more popular in the community but was still served in luxurious cups.

Typically, Japanese people use warmed Sake in winter and chilled or cold Sake in summer. Also, enjoying Sake while dining will help enhance the flavor of the dish. In particular, Sake and sashimi are a "perfect couple", they bring the most harmonious and appealing Japanese culinary experience.
