Sake 酒, an alcohol that is made from fermented rice that has been polished, has many health benefits. We’re talking about sake’s abilities to reduce the probability of cancer due to its amino acids or to slow down ageing, osteoporosis and the list goes on. I mean, an alcohol that does good? I’m on it.

2. Cheaper Sakes than buying from the bar
For first timers, there is a 50% off for the first months’s delivery and that’s definitely a steal when we are talking about premium monthly sake. And when I say specially curated, I really mean rare sakes, like the nama sake and yes, they are seasonal and limited.
Prices start around $50 for one sake delivered each month (before discount), and if you buy a longer term or more bottles, it gets cheaper with economies of scale.
Pair that off with fuss free delivery, there’s nothing stopping you really – With the monthly package, you can stop anytime you want.

No idea how to pick a good sake? All the sakes that are sent over monthly for your subscription will be picked out by in-house sake sommeliers who are of course, liaising directly with the Japanese distilleries.
