This is the second English translation of an educational and entertaining if painfully pretentious manga series about Japanese cuisine. This volume focuses on sake, as you probably guessed by the title. However, it also goes into wine and champagne. If you are a wine lover, prepare to be offended. In this volume we learn of the terrible shortcomings of wine, particularly that it can't possibly go with seafood, ever. But sake on the other hand goes with everything. All trash talking of wine aside, I think that this book makes some very good insights into the sad state of the sake industry. But it also offers hope for the future of sake. Strangely, this is also how I feel about beer. If you are a beer lover like me, you just might see what I mean. I feel like I just reviewed a documentary, but this is actually a work of fiction.
