Posted in Sake on March 14, 2011
Takara has been a leading producer of Sake in Japan for more than 150 years. Takara Sake USA, established in Berkeley in 1982, uses pure snow melt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and superior rice from the fertile Sacramento Valley to make a Sake worthy of the Takara mark.
The high quality and superior taste of Sho Chiku Bai, Takara’s main brand of Sake in Berkeley as well as Japan, has made it the best-selling Sake in the United States.
Sho Chiku Bai Classic is Junmai Sake (Junmai Sake is composed of rice, water, and culture; no other ingredients or additives, such as alcohol or sugar, are added.) In order to enjoy its traditional Junmai character in full, serving it warm is recommended. Smooth, well-balanced and full-bodied, it will pair well with mildly seasoned dishes. $11.95*
