Gekkeikan Sake Museum

Prior to my trip, I came across a documentary on Netflix that documented the sake making process.  The documentary was interesting but was very long.  At the end of it, I knew more than I ever wanted to know about Sake and now here I was in a Sake Museum.   Our Museum guide took us through the Museum and described the sake making process.  I think I got a little bit more out of the movie but nonetheless it was fun to see in person.   What the movie didn’t offer was a tasting or a bottle to go home with us.

I have to admit, although I have learned about the sake making process, I rarely drink and would have no idea what to order off of a menu.  I discovered Sushi in my early 20’s along with Hot Sake.  I even had a hot sake set.   It wasn’t until my 30’s that I learned that sake is not only served hot but also cold and that they were often paired with foods.
