Sake

by Tetsu Kariya, Akira Hanasaki
Sake
Sake

Culinary adventure intertwining sake, culture, and cuisine.

If you're someone who appreciates the fine subtleties of gourmet dining and cultural nuances, "Sake" could be a delightful addition to your reading list. It's not just a journey through the complexities of pairing sake with food but also an exploration of the rituals and history that enrich Japanese cuisine. As Yamaoka Shirō delves into creating the Ultimate Menu, you'll find yourself immersed in a story that's as much about the sensory pleasures of taste as it is about tradition.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This volume centers on sake within the food manga framework. As part of the Ultimate Menu project, journalist Yamaoka Shirō—an inveterate cynic with a refined palate and encyclopedic knowledge of food—considers drink pairings an essential part of the menu. The narrative shifts its focus to sake, explaining how different types have served in Japan—from everyday drinks to rare, single-batch varieties—and explores which foods best complement various sakes.
