Why is sake a good match with sushi and raw fish? Sake, also known as magic water boasts a superior ability of taste, colour, odor, and feel profile, unlike any other beverage.

Sake is brewed from rice and therefore has a distinct and rich umami (deliciousness) flavour which makes it the perfect pairing partner for sushi, which is delicate food, yet has a saline taste from both rice and the raw fish.
