In THE BOOK OF SAKE, brew master Philip Harper provides all the information anyone needs to discover the many pleasures of Japan's national tipple. Harper, the only non-Japanese to rise to the official rank of Master Brewer, describes..

how to find each sake's sweet spot

how to distinguish all types of sake

how to enjoy their distinctive flavor and bouquet

what makes a good sake

how to match sake with food

where sake is made, and its regional flavor

how sake is made

how professional tasters judge sake

how to have a home sake-tasting party
and much more.

Harper also introduces tidbits of sake lore (as only an insider can), a groundbreaking new tasting chart, and a selection of sakes for all palates and pocketbooks by the esteemed sake journalist Haruo Matsuzaki. To round out the volume, Harper offers a fascinating tour of Japan's sake regions, then presents the most intriguing view of the sake brew master's art ever to be published in English.
