Kikkoman Ryorishu Cooking SakeCooking sake is the Japanese chef's secret to well-balanced sweetness and acidity in everything from sushi rice to teriyaki. Sake is fermented rice wine typically enjoyed as an alcoholic beverage. It's sometimes enjoyed as an aperitif before meals, but also pairs well with food. This premium cooking sake is specially brewed with organic rice to add umami to your dishes. Just a dash adds a depth of flavor that's hard to mimic with other seasonings or sauces.
