Méconnu mais de plus en plus apprécié et reconnu pour ses qualités, le saké s’invite progressivement sur nos tables. En effet, on ne compte plus les sommeliers et les chefs qui ont été conquis par ses qualités gustatives.
Contrairement aux idées reçues le saké japonais dépasse rarement les 16 degrés. Moins acide et plus sucré que le vin, il s’accorde autant avec la cuisine japonaise qu’avec la cuisine occidentale de l’apéritif au dessert.
Tout comme le vin, on notera lors de sa dégustation, la robe, la couleur, le nez et la bouche.
