F O C U S : Aged Sake ( koshu)

Most sake is consumed fresh, stored for only a couple months at the brewery and consumed within about a year of bottling. Some brewers, however, choose to age a small amount of their sake, sometimes for up to five years or more. This extra maturation allows the sake to continue to develop, typically imparting a yellow hue and intense, earthy aromas. Sake can be aged in tank or bottle, at room temperature or refrigerated, and each of these decisions will

have an impact on how the sake matures. A well-aged sake becomes deep and complex, offering yet another way to enjoy this extremely versatile beverage.
