Not unlike beer in its production style, starch in rice is fermented with yeast and fresh water to create alcohol. In Japan, where it is the national beverage, traditionally Sake would be gently warmed. Then it would be sipped from a small porcelain cup called a\u00a0Sakazuki. As traditional as it is it is also the most modern of drinks. Find out more in<em> Sake;  Rice,<\/em> <em>Water for Great Taste and Design<\/em>.

Yet the first recorded existence of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/powerful-perfect-gifts-this-holiday-season\/\">Sake<\/a> wasn&#8217;t until the 3rd century CC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d2659a543e30e24f4138c10dac3d2914 wp-block-paragraph\">From the 7th to the 10th century in Japan, it was only produced in and for the royal courts. By the 15th century, it was produced far more widely, and by the 18th century, the production of Sake was a full industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f8a639f89ea717a095ad2b9ab73c93a6 wp-block-paragraph\">As much as it is a classic crafted drink it has also been part of a modernist approach.

Take for, example, Kay Sake, which has been carefully brewed using the finest Gohyakumangoku local rice (known as the queen of sake rice)  from the Hokuriku region. Added to that is the pristine waters of the Kaji River which flows from the majestic Iide mountains.&nbsp;It is this soft water that allows for slower <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/brewing-a-scent\/\">brewing<\/a> to produce such high-quality sake.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/country-2178853_1280.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/country-2178853_1280.jpg?resize=580%2C386&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/country-2178853_1280.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/country-2178853_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/country-2178853_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-57211bab085d0eb2dfb81da7ab481e72 wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>This exquisite drink is crafted at the renowned Aumont Brewery, founded in 179os.
