With a history of more than a hundred years, the Annual Japan Sake Awards is considered the most reputable sake contest. Each year, there are over 900 entries, with all of them made only for the contest. Since the production of each item is merely around 1,000 bottles, they are not only excellent, but rare. In fact, it is not easy to find them even in Japan. And although 3 winning sakes of 2019 have just hit our shelves in July, they have all gone already. However, don’t be upset if you have missed them because in response to the overwhelming needs of sake lovers, Saketora has decided to bring in another 3 gold medal sakes this month. Before they are sold out, hurry up and buy now!
