With such a kit, they can learn how sake is made more rightly in the United States than in Japan.いちべーhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339029588635347683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117665288072956815.post-61208413701372168602010-12-06T10:36:57.591+09:002010-12-06T10:36:57.591+09:00Ichibay,

I know that often when talking about high quality sake we try to justify the price to remove this as a barrier. However, I balk at the price of sake and I know I like it. How much more those who are unsure.Will Auldhttp://HomeBrewSake.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117665288072956815.post-36319793789117982212010-12-02T08:01:09.958+09:002010-12-02T08:01:09.958+09:00Vinod V.
Thank you for the comment. Your point is...Vinod V.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment. Your point is very important.<br /><br />I know about the taxation system about added alcohol in the United States, and futsushu and honjozo are difficult to find there. <br />And, at any level, sake is expensive. Yes, this is a big problem.<br /><br />I hope they can purchase sake at lower prices so that they can drink sake more often. And, I believe if the availability increases and the prices lowers, they become able to enjoy sake in more various ways.<br /><br />By the way, since many of junmai sake are also good when warmed, they can still try kanzake. So, I also hope they enjoy kanzake especially in a cold season.いちべーhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339029588635347683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117665288072956815.post-29998342697992461432010-12-01T02:18:49.835+09:002010-12-01T02:18:49.835+09:00In the U.S., very little futsushu is imported (bec...In the U.S., very little futsushu is imported (because of import tax laws concerning "added alcohol"), so I think it's more a matter of availability than popularity. There's also very little honjozo available, for the same reason.<br /><br />A bigger problem is that the typical bottle of sake, at any level, is about double the price (or more) in the U.S. as it is in Japan. Other countries are even more expensive, so I'm not so surprised it isn't more popular here, yet.Vinod V.http://www.jumanaidjimidjango.com/noreply@blogger.com
