Boost your Saké Sales

Demystify Saké

Fun Saké Presentations for your Customers & Staff

Retail Saké Presentations

Japanese premium Saké is gaining popularity as an alternative adult beverage in the U.S., resulting in articles written in prestigious publications such as Wine Spectator.

Yet many customers are still hesitant to make a purchase, probably because they either don’t know what Saké is, or are intimidated by the saké bottle labels that do not offer sufficient information about what is actually in the bottle.

One of the ways to help familiarize your customers to Saké is to empower them with facts such as the general flavor profile of each saké grade and how to interpret the label by demystifying saké.
