Sake Japan has been super busy since we started FREE DELIVERY service from 1 Nov. (Please note the special offer ends 20 Dec @11:59pm)
Yesterday, we have received 20 GIFT WRAPPING SERVICE request for family's wedding gift!
Me and my assiatant YUKI san spent about an hour to make 20 bottles wrapped.

Hopefully, people would like the present.
SAKE JAPAN would love to wrap your sake to be used as gift.
Please use this service for your Christmas Gift idea !
Today, I have updated a
new 300ml bottle RANMAN TOKUSEN GINJO from one of my favorite sake brewery
RANMAN SHUZO in Akita!
This cute mini bottle is
only $14 and there are all good elements of Ranman infused in this mini bottle. You could instantly see the true flavour & goodness of Ranman.
You can drink it chilled but also warmed one is very good.
Thank you, Ranman! Enjoy Ranman!!

Today, I had an inquiry from one of sake japan customers who had some sake before in Japanese restaurants but he can’t remember what they were. He liked sake but he is not sure which one to start with. So he is asking me some help to choose a nice & reasonable priced bottle to start off with.
Here are my recommendation sake bottles for sake beginners to start with.
1: Tosatsuru Joto Honjozo $33.00 – Dry & Medium Body sake with a light creamy fragrance. For any occasion with your preferred temperature. One of the most reasonable premium sake you can find in Sake Japan.
http://www.sakejapan.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3871202762: Tateyama Ginrei Honjozo $34.00 – Dry & Light flavour sake from Toyama. You would see how smooth & clean this premium sake is when you drink it cold. Once you warm it up, it gets more body in a flavour. It’s hard to find the sake under $35 for this quality.
http://www.sakejapan.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2683330093: Ranman Ginjo Reiryo $55.00- Light & Dry flavour sake with a beautiful fruity fragrance like ripe melon & well balanced sweetness. If you would like to try a bit more delicate & subtle sake, please go with this one.
http://www.sakejapan.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=157100074These three items are my strong recommendation. These bottles will tell you that you don’t need to spend so much to try premium sake. Please start with these bottles to get some ideas.
Do you know we have a Gift Wrapping Service on Sake Japan? We can wrap your purchased sake bottle in Japanese wrapping paper with a hand written message card for extra $5.00!
Yesterday, I had one sake order with a comment of warping service request for friend’s birthday. Obviously the customer couldn’t figure out how to make a order for gift wrapping.. I feel sorry for it.
So let me go through the steps again for
GIFT WRAPPING SERVICE
1: After you pick up the sake, you can press
ADD TO SHOPPING CART, then it will lead you to
SHOPPING CART PAGE automatically.
2: Choose gift wrapping for male or female at SHOPPING CART PAGE by adding the number you want to purchase into the boxes in a middle of page and press
CHANGE to confirm it.
3: Also you can add
Delivery Address so you can choose the alternative addresses.
4: Then press
Go To Checkout and make sure the items, numbers and delivery addresses are all collect. You can also leave the message for
message card at this page
5: Press
Continue Check Out then you will be asked to input your payment detail..
I hope it’s not too difficult for you to work out. If you are not sure on process, please email to
info@sakejapan.com.au for further help.
Wouldn’t be a nice surprise to send out the real Japanese premium sake with gift wrapping & message card to your important friends or family?
Lets’ share the joy of premium sake drinking with people you love!
Happy Sipping!

Pick Up Items for January 2009 has been just updated.
I have picked up 2 new arrivals from NANAWARAI SHUZO in Nagano prefecture.
One is Dry Junmai & the other is delicate flavoured Ginjo Namachozoshu. Umm.. both has a very unique tastes and super high quality sake. I am very honor to have NANAWARAI products in Sake Japan now.
Also, my all the time favorite TOSATSURU SHUZO's dry & medium body Hojozo is selected again. I can say that this very stable high quality Honjozo will never get me bored of it. Perfect bottle to be opened when you are having a meal with friends.
At last, I have picked up 2 unique type of Japanese sprit. One is KIWAMI CHOKICHOZO and its made from sugarcane & sweet cone as main ingredients and aged for 3 years in barrel. Taste is a bit smorky and it can be described as a Japanese bourbon whisky. The other one is Okinawa's traditional sprit called RYUKYU AWAMRI KARIYUSHI. It has a distinct flavour from long gain rice fermentation. Good to be drunk mixed with ice & water during your meal.
Happy Sake Sipping, mate!
