Sake: where culture meets class. When enjoying one of Worcester’s Japanese teppanyaki style restaurants such as Hirosaki Prime, on Grafton Street, skip the wine, pass on the Japanese beers, and choose the cultural classic rice wine: sake. Sake, which is created in a similar process of beer, has been around since the 3rd century China where it was drank to achieve a “spiritual high.”
Pictured here is Gekkeikan Sake, which is produced in California and is a traditional sake that can be served hot, cold, or room temperature. Although the flavor may take getting used to (it is made from water and rice aged for 6-months) it is a smooth, mellow flavor that is sure to be a suitable beverage no matter what you have on your plate.
