Recenzii
"This book is jam-packed with information and knowledge about the drink's past and present. Without a doubt, it's the result of in-depth research, interviews, and sake tastings." --Shuso Imada, Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association
"Brian Ashcraft has written the thorough, authoritative, yet highly accessible book about sake the English-speaking world has been waiting for." --Michael Booth, author of Super Sushi Ramen Express
"…it would be misleading to call this title a mere guide, for it is not just about knowing your honjuzo from your daiginjo…Rather the author's approach here is reflected in an apt quotation from a former Japanese PM: 'sake does not just reflect Japanese culture; it is Japanese culture.' Interviews with the likes of a veteran master toji brewer of 70 years and the pioneers of premium ginjo sake make for a truly enjoyable read and offer valuable context." --Kyoto Journal
