I tried the sparkling sake and the plum sake. I like any sake. But these were great. The sparkling is an aperitif. Sparkling, like Champagne and prosecco, so it can be drunk on its own, without being overwhelmed by strong foods, and Japanese food is often bland, or to put it more delicately, delicately flavoured. The plum sake is from the UK which saves on import duty. Sake comes in small bottles, but you don't drink much.
(In Singapore my Japanese friends at the Japanese club insisted on my trying plum wine and the dearer plum wines there were the strongest flavours. Mose non-Japanese people would not know the difference and would be equally happy with the milder flavour and very pleased with the better price. In the UK the really strong flavoured plum sake imported from Japan costs more. If you go to a Japanese club or restaurant, look for the plum wine. Be careful, if you are given a menu without prices you may be ordering something expensive - but your polite Japanese friends will assure you that if you would like it, you must have it.)
With these happy thoughts in mind, I met Adrian Cohen of Tazaki Foods.
A Japanese lady was talking to the Asian customers.
Look out for sparkling sake and plum wine in oriental restaurants in London and the UK. You drink only a thimbleful, very elegant, unless you chuck it down at once - I suggest you sip elegantly. Sake is usually strong stuff - check the label. You soon have a smile on your face.

If you want to buy the plum wine it's on Amazon at £10.95 (plus shipping - I always keep my shopping basket going until I have a big enough order to qualify for free shopping.)
