@tippsysake tasting box! Do you know there are actually many different types of sake? Today we’re going to unbox a tippsy Sake tasting box to learn more about how sake is made. Sake is made with fermented rice with “koji”, which is also use to ferment soybeans for soy sauce and miso. Just like wine and other spirits, there are so many other factors that could contribute the taste of the sake. Typically sake could be categorized into two types: is Junmai (pure rice sake 純米), which is transparent and Nigori (濁) which caused by rice solids that have not been fermented. Among the tasting box, my favorite is this Niwa no Uguisu “50” from Fukuoka prefecture. It is in the Junmai category as it is transparent. It tastes light and dry but extremely smooth with a floral after taste. This pairs really well with food as a start of your meal.
