Pro Reviews: Insider's Guide to Sake
Sake is largely a mystery in the West, even to many experienced diners. They may know that this fermented rice liquor from Japan is served hot or cold, but little more. For them, THE INSIDER'S GUIDE TO SAKE by Philip Harper will be a revelation. This small, slim book is packed with useful information on every page--and even on the inside flaps....Harper has done much research and, despite being so close to the industry, has managed to write a lively, clear guide to a subject just waiting to be discovered by the West.
Publisher Notes: Insider's Guide to Sake
- Anyone who has ever been to Japan has probably fallen under the spell of a soothing cup of sake at one time or another. An encounter with Japan's favorite libation is bound to be memorable, yet despite its growing popularity worldwide, information on this eminently drinkable beverage remains
scarce.
Written by a British expatriate who has spent more than seven years brewing sake in the exacting traditional method, The Insider's Guide to Sake is the consummate introductory handbook. It unravels the history and intricacies of this exotic drink, and provides an extensive list of restaurants and
retail outlets in Japan, the United States, and Europe where the beverage in all its variety can be found. In The Guide you will discover over 100 sakes for all tastes and pocketbooks, tips for beginners and connoisseurs alike, and a knowledgeable explanation of the brew-master's skills. Labels and
specs for each selected sake are displayed in a concise, easy-to-follow format.
Whether you are a gourmet, a wine lover, or just enjoy the occasional thirst-quencher, The Insider's Guide to Sake offers a fascinating, broad-ranging introduction to this compelling refreshment-in a refreshingly compelling manner.
