- A detailed introduction to all the various sake styles and terms used to describe them including the differences between junmai and aruten, the appeal of unpasteurized namazake, and why even everyday futsushu deserves our attention

- And much more, based on firsthand experience inside Japanese breweries
Written by Andrew Russell, one of the few non-Japanese trained in traditional breweries in Japan, this book takes readers deep inside the ancient craft of sake brewing and finally lifts the veil on sake's hidden world!
