Flavored Saké

Saké, or Japanese rice wine, is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting rice. Its brewing process is similar to that of beer, where starch is converted into sugars that ferment into alcohol. At Flavorman, we can take a sake base of your choosing and turn it into the deliciously flavored sake of your dreams!

History

Flavored Saké

The origins of sake remain veiled in mystery, adding to its allure and intrigue. It is believed that the art of fermenting rice into this beverage journeyed from China to Japan around 500 BCE. The first recorded mention of alcohol use in Japan can be traced back to the ancient pages of the Book of Wei. Throughout the Heian period, sake became intertwined with the fabric of Japanese life, gracing religious ceremonies, celebrations, and more.

With the commercial globalization of Japanese culture, the world has joined in on the love for sake. Several sake brands with added flavor and innovative qualities are now available at almost every global liquor store and Asian restaurant. Modern-day technology now allows for shelf-stable sake, which consumers can serve hot, cold, or at room temperature. Thanks to beverage experts across the world, imbibing into the world of Sake is a cultural, historic, and fascinating experience for all!

Key Considerations

  1. Saké can be served hot, cold, or at room temperature, all of which can impact the flavor. Let us consult with you on how we can optimize your flavored saké to suit your desired serving temperature.
  2. Saké has a higher ABV than beer and wine. Beer is typically between 3-9%, wine is 9-16%, while Saké can be upwards of 18-20%!
  3. Saké can generally be categorized in two flavor profiles: fragrant (ginjo) or savory (non-ginjo).
