Author Brian Ashcraft—the author of the popular guide Japanese Whisky —has put together lively commentaries based on dozens of interviews with master brewers and sake experts across Japan. His fascinating stories are accompanied by over 300 full-color photographs, maps and drawings. A unique feature of this book is that it includes reviews, tasting notes, scores and a buying guide for over 100 of the leading sake brands, written by respected Japanese sake expert Takashi Eguchi. These include all the sakes most commonly found outside Japan. Each sake has a photo of the label, tasting notes, a score and recommended food pairings. Information on the leading brewers is provided, and the sakes are grouped by flavor profile. Japanese sake is brewed worldwide today and is winning over many converts. A foreword by sake connoisseur and world-renowned DJ Richie Hawtin addresses the spread in global popularity and the shared mission of making this specialty beverage as accessible as possible. With the help of this book you'll soon become an expert in selecting, serving and enjoying Japan's favorite drink. Review: This book dives deep into the history and the artistry behind sake. - This book was very insightful and was a strong study asset in the certified sake advisor exam. Review: Who knew there was so much more to Sake! - I'm not good reviews, but honestly I wouldn't want to spoil this book to begin with. If you've ever had the opportunity to drink or at least try Sake; this is a must have if just to have that extra bit of knowledge about Japan's national and traditional drink. It took me a while to finally find the time (and mental peace) to finally open Brian's new book after having received it on release. I must say that I was not ready for how beautifully the book/chapters have been organized. The descriptions, the stories, the photos. It's so perfect. This is a book I will definitely pack with me on my next visit to Japan. I want to find and try ALL these Sake brands! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #139,363 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #77 in Japanese Cooking, Food & Wine #89 in Wine (Books) #115 in Alcoholic Spirits | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (140) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.9 x 9 inches | | ISBN-10 | 4805315059 | | ISBN-13 | 978-4805315057 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | September 15, 2020 | | Publisher | Tuttle Publishing | ## Images ![The Japanese Sake Bible: Everything You Need to Know About Great Sake (With Tasting Notes and Scores for Over 100 Top Brands) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PgQ55haqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book dives deep into the history and the artistry behind sake. *by A***S on August 7, 2024* This book was very insightful and was a strong study asset in the certified sake advisor exam. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who knew there was so much more to Sake! *by E***0 on November 8, 2020* I'm not good reviews, but honestly I wouldn't want to spoil this book to begin with.
