TOKYO, Jan. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A global e-commerce site for premium Sake called Premium Sake (https://premium-sake.jp/) will be launched by liquor consultant Kyo-ya and Inishie Sake (Tokyo) store, (together with Forblu Inc.) on January 20th 2017. The online shop will enable the discerning appreciators of the finer things in life to receive direct delivery of the highest quality Sakes.
There will be an incredible selection of Sake – from Ginjo to Vintage Sake – to cater to a wide variety of tastes and occasions. It will all be highest quality Sake handpicked by highly experienced Sake sommeliers. The Sake will be sourced directly from specialist breweries in Japan, ensuring that it is genuine and excellent Sake.
The site will take clients on a journey through the distinct characteristics of each of the unique Sake breweries, describing the raw materials, types of water, and brewing methods used. From Sake beginners to experienced masters, there is ample variety to suit all tastes. Deep knowledge about how best to enjoy Sake will be shared, from what temperature brings out the Sake's full potential to what one should do in order to find one's favorite. Furthermore, there will be Sake sets, Sake-warming machines and other relevant equipment - the site will be the one-stop-shop and guide for anyone keen to explore genuine Sake culture.
From launch, shipping will be available to clients in Singapore, Hong Kong, (both of to which refrigerated Sake can be shipped), as well as Australia. There will be further expansion shortly thereafter.
Although Sake exports are growing, having grown by 260% (by value) and 190% (by volume) from ten years ago, it is still less than 0.2% of global wine-trading. The wonderful pleasures of Sake-drinking have yet to be experienced by many across the world – Premium Sake intends to change that.

Sake's charm comes from the wide variety of aromas and tastes. In recent years, Sake breweries have developed innovative brewing and improved storage techniques, enabling the widespread enjoyment of the finest Sake. Now, Premium Sake can distribute the most delicious and distinguished Sake varieties to international clients outside of Japan.
Shinichiro Honda, CEO of Honda Shoten, (Tatsuriki Brewery)
"The leaders who are behind Premium Sake have strong connections with Sake brewers. People around the world come to Japan and become connoisseurs of Sake and thus wish to buy it from abroad, regardless of price. However, there are slightly less expensive varieties that are also delicious, but thus far, distributors have only focused on selling the most expensive varieties, making Sake less accessible. Brewers such as us truly appreciate the efforts of Premium Sake to set off a spark that will surely enlighten the world to the brilliant wonders of Sake."
