The Japanese have been making sake for over two and a half thousand years. The first sake was called "kuchikame-no-sake" which literally meant," chewing in the mouth sake". Back then rice, chestnuts, and millet were chewed by the whole village, spat into a tub and let to ferment before drinking – Yun!!!
Sake brewing has changed a lot since then. Sake can be served either Warm or Chilled. Official sake masters in Japan drink sake at room temperature. However you like it, robot is Melbourne's only Sake Bar offering a large range for your drinking pleasure.
