The Enjoyment of Sake

Which Drinkware is Your Favourite?

If you want to make it even more delicious, choosing the right cup is important.

 

Bud-shaped: A narrow mouth holds the aroma, so you can slowly savour aromatic changes on the nose – most suitable for enjoying sakes with a rich, floral perfume.

 

 

Trumpet-shaped: The wide mouth allows the aroma to disperse, and enables the sake to reach the acid-sensitive zones on the sides of your tongue, accentuating the sensation of acidity.

 

 

Bowl-shaped: Recommend for enjoying the umami and sweet flavours of sake. The wide mouth and long body mean the sake takes less time to reach the centre of the tongue. Good for tasting rich sake and warmed sake.

 

 

Straight: The straight line lets the sake flow smoothly and quickly into your mouth and the back of your tongue – perfect for enjoying light-bodied sake, as it allows you to feel a unique refreshing sensation in your throat.
