Sake / Taru

Taru

Taru is a style of sake that is reminiscent of the old ways. In earlier times, sake was a very rough and sometimes unpalatable type of alcoholic beverage. To mask some of the poor qualities or flavors the brewers would age the sake in cedar casks creating a nice aroma and flavor. Today you can recreate that flavor by enjoying your sake in a masu (cedar drinking box) or drink Taru.
