Sho Chiku Bai, this little bottle of sake (sah keh), is a cool little addition to your out and abouts cooler, especially if you are buying those grab and go sushi platters. Sake goes well with sushi, its like pickles and hamburgers, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Kim and Courtney Kardashian, Batman and Robin, Kobe and Pau, well you get the picture... I guess.
For just a few bucks, you can get this sake in the chill section at Foodland Farms Lahaina, in the Lahaina Gateway Shopping Center. So who produces this brew? It is made by Takara Sake USA. Takara has been brewing sake for over 150 years according to their website. Sake is made from superior rice and pure water, the Sho Chiku Bai brand is the popular brand in Japan and the United States. Takara USA has been in business in the US since 1982, located in Berkely, California. Not too high in alcohol conent, it's pretty smooth, despite being a non-sake drinker, I found it kind of inviting, meaning I'd drink a few of these little menehunes, I mean it went well with the ready made Ahi Sushi, so it really isn't bad at all. If you like warm sake, maybe nuke this baby in your micro ha ha.
Check out Takara Sake's website at http://www.takarasake.com/ and learn more about them. So if you're cruising in Lahaina, go to Foodland Farms in the Lahaina Gateway and get a few bottles and a few ready made sushi ready to go, so get a cooler with some ice and get the goods.
