Beauty appliance manufacturer Areti. is running an early bird sale on its official website until January 31st on its slim cellar "Sakaryue," which can store wine, champagne, and sake at two different temperatures depending on the type of alcohol.
Sake doesn't have an expiration date, but you need to be careful of deterioration
Sake is sensitive to high temperatures and light. To maintain the quality of sake, such as unpasteurized sake, for which freshness is important, or ginjo sake, which is slowly fermented at low temperatures, it is necessary to store it at the appropriate temperature according to the type.
In particular, sake that is purchased in a refrigerated case can be prevented from deteriorating by storing it at home at temperatures below 10°C, allowing you to enjoy not only the aroma but also the full-bodied, crisp flavor.
[Nama sake, Nama Genshu] Refrigerate at 5-6℃ Unpasteurized sake or unpasteurized sake is prone to change in quality due to the presence of residual enzymes and microorganisms. Storing it at low temperatures helps maintain its fresh flavor.
[Ginjo sake, Daiginjo sake] Refrigerate at around 10°C If you want to enjoy the fruity aroma and crisp taste, we recommend keeping it well chilled. Storing it at high temperatures will cause it to mature too quickly, resulting in a stale smell.
[Junmaishu, Honjozoshu] Room temperature In the summer, indoor temperatures can easily rise, so it's best to block out UV rays with newspaper or something similar and store it in a cool, dark place with minimal temperature changes. After opening, keep it refrigerated and drink it as soon as possible.
The basic rule for storing sake is to store it upright!
When storing wine for long periods of time, it is placed on its side to prevent the cork from drying out, but sake is stored upright to reduce its surface area exposed to air and prevent deterioration.
Sparkling sake may use a cork stopper, but regular sake uses a metal stopper or a stopper with a metal film to prevent discoloration, maintain the quality of the sake, and prevent odors from transferring from the stopper.
Another thing to be careful about when storing in the refrigerator is the storage position. Even if it is placed upright, vibrations from opening and closing a household refrigerator are easily transmitted, so avoid storing it in the door pocket.
As an exception, if you are storing it in an environment with extreme temperature changes and vibrations, it is okay to temporarily place it horizontally.
"Sakariue" can be placed upright in a space reserved for 1.8L bottles
The Sakaryue (s2290) cellar is a must-see for those who have a lot of sake taking up space in their refrigerator, or for those who like wine and champagne but also want to enjoy sake with their food.It has an ice greenhouse with two temperature controls, top and bottom, that can store one-liter bottles of sake upright, and the temperature can be adjusted in 1°C increments from approximately 0 to 10°C.
The compressor type is designed with a focus on cooling capacity, making it easy to control the temperature and keeping unpasteurized sake and other drinks delicious.
