Sake – A Unique Highlight of Japanese Culinary Culture
Japanese sake is made from rice, water, and koji mold through a unique fermentation process. More than just a drink, it plays a key role in Japanese food culture, enjoyed in everyday meals and during special celebrations.
Depending on the season and type of sake, it can be served hot or cold to enhance the drinking experience. Japanese sake generally has an alcohol content of around 15%, and its flavors vary widely, with a balanced combination of sweetness and mild acidity.
Another defining characteristic of sake is its high concentration of amino acids, which contributes to its thick texture and long-lasting flavors, also known as Umami. Thanks to this Umami quality, sake pairs not only with Japanese cuisine but also complements both Asian and Western dishes perfectly.
The Colection of Sake on Saigon Princess Dining Cruise
On the Saigon Princess, you’ll have the opportunity to savor a colection of sake that’s been carefully curated to elevate your dining experience.
Sake Nishinoseki Hana (15%)
Nishinoseki Hana is a popular sake (Futsushu) with a sweet and mildly acidic flavor. This sake is enhanced with added sugar, making it smoother and easier to drink. It’s commonly served in Japanese restaurants and enjoyed in family meals across Japan.
You can enjoy Nishinoseki Hana both hot and cold, and it pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice. On the Saigon Princess, this sake is available in two sizes: 300ml and 720ml, offering convenience to diners.
Sake Nishinoseki Junmaishu (15%)
Nishino Seki Junmaishu stands out with its mild sweetness and bold flavor. It pairs exceptionally well with Western and Vietnamese dishes, making it an ideal choice for rich, savory meats.
