Sake has been a pivotal tradition in Japanese culture for thousands of years. Fruity sake stands out as a favorite of experienced, casual and new sake drinkers for its palate-pleasing flavor and mouthfeel. Takara Sake proudly brings the world's best fruity sake directly to homes and businesses nationwide.

What Is Fruity Sake?

Fruity sake typically has more intense aromas and features complementary floral, herbal or spice notes. These combinations produce pleasantly complex flavors with a velvety smooth mouthfeel. Acidity normally ranges from low to balanced, and color ranges from straw yellow to golden amber. 

Recommended Food Pairings

Fruity sake pairs best with foods like:

  • Soft cheeses, such as camembert, brie and goat cheese
  • Fruit- and chocolate-based desserts
  • Grilled poultry and seafood
  • Charcuterie boards featuring cured meats, dried fruits and nuts
  • Salads featuring citrus or tropical fruits

How to Choose the Best Fruity Sake for an Exceptional Experience

When you're ready for a sake with fruit flavors, there are several considerations to make to find one that best meets your preferences:

  • Sweet-to-dry level: Fruity sakes can range from dry to sweet, so it's important to know which tastes on this scale you most enjoy. The flavor profile should provide a visual cue of where the taste falls.
  • Serving suggestions: Research the serving recommendations so you know the expert opinions on food pairings and serving temperatures. Most fruity sake is best when chilled, but its complex flavors complement different dishes.
  • Brewer reputation: Online research can help you understand which brands have excellent reviews. Those with the highest reputations have likely spent centuries perfecting their processes for the best possible experiences.
