Collaboration with one of Japan’s favorite sake breweries won’t get you drunk, will make you happy.
Not far from Akihabara you’ll find Amanoya, but it wouldn’t be there if not for an assassination.
Japan’s most popular sake brand teams up with its most popular domestic burger chain for a dessert drink like no other.
Special regional-exclusive release uses ingredients from the only sake brewery in the 23 wards of Tokyo.
This white drink being served at the Caffè Veloce chain this winter may look like hot milk, but it’s something else all together — and much sweeter, too!
It seems like every time you look, there’s some sort of new fad diet or superfood, all purported to be the best thing you can do for your health or to improve your natural beauty. But the good news is, this one’s actually fun to partake in.
Researchers at a university in Japan have now put sweet Japanese sake to the test, and have found it to have a number of positive beauty benefits, including improvement to under-eye health!
