Storage
Ideally, Sake should be kept in refrigerator under 5℃. It’s lower than wine. That’s why L-Wine use reefer container for TOKO.
Sake is beverage of “Umami”, much more “Seafood friendly” than wine
- When wine contains ferrous ion or sulfite ion,
it emphasize fishy smell of raw fish, dried fish , and fish egg.
- Sake contains little or nothing of these ions,
but much of Umami.
- Sake is recommended for pairing with Sushi,
Sashimi, caviar, any dishes with raw seafood.
