Heavy VS Light
There are various types of Japanese sake with their own characteristicsand sometimes it can be confusing to choose. According to the results of an earlier Saketora customer survey, most people believe that "the taste of sake" is the most important. But everyone has different taste preferences, so which kind of taste is the most popular? Is it a strong and heavy taste? Or is it elegant and light? Saketora has selected 3 representative sakes for each and held a voting event, to let sake lovers tell us the result. And the result is, 'Light sake' is a bit more popular with a supporting percentage of 58%.
To let you have an actual try and compare, Saketora has also prepared a free shipping set, offering a 13% off discount. If you are looking for sakes that suit your favourite taste, don't miss this chance!
