Sake and I

I knew how to appreciate alcoholic beverages at a young age. I feel like I was born with it. Until a day I discovered the unmentioned family history…

我與清酒的緣份

自小對酒精飲品有好感，還以為是受家人耳濡目染而產生興趣，原來我與清酒的緣份建立於家族兩代人之前…

How to romanticize the summer? Nothing is better than having a bottle of sake in hand.

清酒云云眾多，很多是以前從未飲過的，如何選出最合自己口味的呢？酒瓶Label有玄機！你知道什麼是「日本酒度」嗎？「酸度」是指清酒帶酸味嗎？
