BEGINNER’S GUIDE

How to enjoy your first glass.

There isn’t one correct way—only the way that lets you enjoy what’s in your glass.

01 — START SIMPLE

Serve it the way that feels easy.

A wine glass or a small cup is a perfect place to start. You don’t need special sake ware — use something you already enjoy drinking from.

02 — TRY IT CHILLED

Cold is a great place to begin.

You don’t need Japanese food to enjoy sake. Try it with cheese, roast chicken, seafood or a simple pasta — then see what works for you.

03 — ENJOY IT WITH FOOD

Start with food you already love.

You don’t need Japanese food to enjoy sake. Try it with cheese, roast chicken, seafood or a simple pasta — then see what works for you.

04 — TRUST YOUR TASTE

The best glass is the one you enjoy.

There’s no single right way to enjoy sake. Try it, notice what you like, and trust your own taste. That’s more than enough.
