Guide to Sake
Whether you are a gourmet, a wine
lover, or just enjoy the occasional

to Sake is fascinating.
In English, saké is translated as "rice wine,"
however it is not actually wine since it is not made from grapes. Like beer it
is made from grain and is brewed, however, it is not carbonated. Saké, like wine,
has many different varieties and is evaluated by its quality and grade. There
are more than 10,000 different brands of sake that can be distinguished by
subtle differences in ingredients and the specific brewing process. There is one
type of saké, called amazake which is non-alcoholic and is enjoyed by young and
old alike.
Benihana Sake
This incredible American success story really had its roots in Japan right after
the war. At that time, Yunosuke Aoki, a samurai descendant and a popular
Japanese entertainer together with his wife Katsu opened a small coffee shop in
Tokyo. A red safflower, found in the neighborhood streets gave the Aoki's the
inspiration for the restaurant's name - Benihana - which in Japanese means "red
flower."
