Sake, often referred to as Japanese rice wine, is a traditional alcoholic beverage made by fermenting polished rice. Unlike wine, which is made from fruit, or beer, which is brewed from grains, Sake is brewed using a unique process that converts rice starch into sugars, which are then fermented. This gives Sake its distinct flavour, which can range from sweet and fruity to dry and earthy.

Enjoyed hot or cold, Sake can be paired with a wide range of foods, from blue cheese, scallops, sushi, grilled meats, vegetables, and tomato-based pasta sauces. Its versatility and unique taste make it an excellent choice for those looking to explore something new. Get creative and try with all sorts of dishes. 

You’ll find a diverse range of styles and flavours to suit any palate or occasion in our Sake collection, such as Junmai Sake, Ginjo Sake, Daiginjo Sake, and Nigori Sake.

Discover the unique flavours of this traditional Japanese drink to suit any occasion at Seven Cellars.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Sake Made From?

Open tab

Sake is made from four main ingredients: rice, water, yeast, and koji mold. The rice used in Sake production is polished to remove the outer layers, and the koji mold helps convert the rice starches into fermentable sugars, which are then fermented by yeast to produce alcohol.

How Should Sake Be Served?

Open tab

Sake can be served either warm or chilled, depending on the type and your personal preference. Premium Sake varieties like Ginjo and Daiginjo are typically served chilled to highlight their delicate flavours, while more robust types like Junmai are often enjoyed warm.

What Are the Different Types of Sake?

Open tab

There are several types of Sake, each with unique characteristics:

- Junmai: Pure Sake with no added alcohol, rich and full-bodied.

- Ginjo: A premium Sake with a light, fruity profile, made with highly polished rice.

- Daiginjo: An ultra-premium Sake, known for its complex and refined flavours.

- Nigori: Unfiltered Sake with a creamy texture and sweet, bold taste.

How Long Does Sake Last Once Opened?

Open tab

Sake varieties, like wine and beer, are best enjoyed soon after opening. Once a bottle of Sake is opened, it should be consumed within 1 to 2 weeks to preserve its flavour and freshness. Storing it in the refrigerator helps maintain its quality, especially for premium Sake varieties like Ginjo and Daiginjo.

What Foods Pair Well with Sake?

Open tab

Sake pairs well with a wide variety of foods, not just Japanese cuisine. It complements sushi, sashimi, and tempura, as well as grilled meats, cheeses, and even desserts. The versatility of Sake makes it a great companion for many different dishes. Get creative and try alongside all sorts of dishes.
