- How strong is Sake compared to vodka?
- Most sakes, contrary to common opinion, are only around 15-16%, making them half as potent as most whiskeys and vodkas. The portrayal of the intoxicated Japanese businessman isn't purely attributed to sake. It's usually drunk in company with beer, but it's also fine with umeshu (plum wine) or shochu (sweet-potato-based spirit).

- Captivating flavor of fruit sake
- Fruit and sake are a great combination. Umeshu is one of the most famous fruit liqueurs but there are many other which are just as delicious.
Miwaku series produced by Maruishi Shuzo are a great choice of fruit liqueurs. We would like to introduce three different flavors – yuzu, peach and mango. The base for all the three liqueurs is junmai-shu so you can also expect a high-quality taste of sake. The light alcohol percentage of just 7% is attractive even to those who don’t like alcohol and it is perfect for making cocktails.
