Description

Book Introduction

This book is a compilation of articles written by the author, who worked for a long time at the Japanese Embassy in Korea, either by introducing them to Koreans or contributing them at their request while stationed in Korea.
This book is not written for Japanese people, but for Koreans who usually drink Korean alcohol.
For those who find it difficult to choose sake or don't know how to read labels, this book provides a friendly introduction to the basics of Japanese sake as an alcoholic beverage.
It also talks about how Japanese people drink sake and how Japanese sake is related to Japan's climate and customs.

This book also mentions various traditional Japanese alcoholic beverages, such as sake, shochu, awamori, mirin, and medicinal liquor.
This will help you understand Japanese sake better, as it focuses on the fact that these are not entirely different drinks, but rather drinks that have something in common.
As in Japan, interest in traditional Korean alcohol is declining among consumers in Korea, but knowing about Japanese sake can help us think about the future of Korean alcohol.
In addition, this book provides a Japanese translation of the same content as the original Korean text as an appendix.

You can preview some of the book's contents.
