Sak&#233;, the Japanese wine distilled from rice and an essential part of Japanese culture for more than 2,000 years, is suddenly becoming one of the hippest alcoholic beverages in in the U. S. and abroad. The current rise of sak&#233; bars and sak&#233;-influenced drinks such as the sak&#233;tini are delicious evidence of this newly gained popularity. <br><br>Despite this newfound buzz, most Westerners know very little about this traditional drink. <br> There are more varieties of sak&#233; than there are of red and white wines combined. <br> Sak&#233; is supposed to be served chilled. Only low-grade sak&#233; is heated, mainly to hide the inferior quality of the drink. In Japan, sak&#233; is rarely served with sushi, which is ironic as most Americans who drink sak&#233; only drink it with sushi.<br><br>Rocky Aoki, the founder of the famous Benihana and Haru restaurants examines how the rice is grown and brewed, supplies fascinating background and history of sak&#233; in Japanese culture, describes the different varieties of sak&#233;, discusses which sak&#233;s should accompany different types of foods, and where one can purchase sak&#233;. With the same zest that he has brought to his phenomenally successful Benihana chain, which introduced the world to Japanese cuisine, Aoki will share the joy of sak&#233;. <br><br>Also included is an extensive appendix guide to 100 brands of sak&#233; that are commonly found in the United States and are considered the most popular brands based on quality, price, and availability.
