A wealth of sake information direct from the breweries You can access first-hand information about breweries and sake that is directly updated by sake breweries from all over Japan. You can also find recommendations on the best food pairings for each sake, as well as suggestions on the ideal glassware, sakeware, and serving temperature to optimise the enjoyment of your sake. Sakenomy is full of information for "sake beginners" who are interested in sake, but don't know what or how to choose a sake that suits their preferences. It is also a valuable reference for sommeliers and food and beverage industry professionals. The "Search by Pairing" function makes it easy to find the ideal sake for a particular cuisine. For example, within Japanese cuisine, there are 16 different categories (sushi, kaiseki and tempura, etc...) from which you can search for the best pairing. Sake brewers also share the dishes they personally recommend for pairing with their sake, so you are sure to find the perfect sake to suit any restaurant's menu. In addition to detailed information about each sake, you can also find brewers' recommendations on how to enjoy it (ex: the best serving temperature, sakeware) and reviews from other users. Finding a sake you like has never been easier! When you discover a sake that you like, you can easily make a note of your tasting comments, the temperature at which you drank it, and upload a photo of the bottle. Recording the restaurant and date that you enjoyed each sake will ensure you'll never forget your favourites! Sakenomy will also suggest sake with similar characteristics, so that you can discover other sake that suits your preferences! 2. Buy your favourite sake with just one click! Sakenomy is linked to the online "Sakenomy Shop", so you can buy your favourite sake with just one click. Sakenomy Shop solves the problem of not knowing where to buy your favourite sake! [Within Japan only] What's more, Sakenomy Shop is dedicated to ensuring you enjoy sake in its optimum condition, so all of our products are sent directly from sake breweries throughout Japan by refrigerated delivery! Because the sake is delivered straight from the brewery to your door, you can enjoy the genuine quality and wonderful flavour that the brewer intended. [Within Japan only] 3. A travel guide that helps you to discover local regions of Japan. Sake is produced in all 47 prefectures of Japan, and most are located in remote areas that are not well documented in travel guides. As sake breweries have often been in business for hundreds of years, and have deep connections within the community, their local knowledge and recommendations of where to eat, drink, stay and explore are truly the best. In Sakenomy, brewers provide you with their recommendations on the best local restaurants and inns, as well as the best gourmet food to go with their sake. Sakenomy is also an invaluable guide for exploring Japan and enjoying local cuisine. It's a must-have for sake lovers and travel enthusiasts alike! ■Notes on the use of the application Please use this application in a good network environment.
