Mold essential to breaking down starches into sugars rounding out the body.
Sake fragrance and aroma can be partially attributed to the yeast strain.

Contrary to popular belief, Premium Sake (such as TYKU Sake) should be served chilled, like a white wine. For best taste, refrigerate after opening and enjoy soon thereafter. Although Sake is typically enjoyed with sushi, it actually pairs well with a wide variety of cuisine such as steak, roasted chicken, seafood and grilled vegetables.
TYKU Sake is best served with friends & loved ones. Never pour your own glass. It is Japanese tradition to always pour sake for each other as a sign of friendship and respect. This interaction of sharing is believed to create luck and good fortune. Kanpai (“Cheers”).
