For sake connoisseurs who are looking for new encounters, "I've drunk most of the sake...", Mirai Nihonshuten has carefully selected four advanced sakes with a particular taste. Let me do it.

This time, we will introduce not only Japanese sake, but also glasses that enhance the taste and aroma of each liquor. The taste and aroma of sake will be different when you drink it in a glass or in a sake cup.

There is no doubt that you will enjoy it even more.
