This all-important task has been entrusted to journalist Yamaoka Shirō, an inveterate cynic who possesses no initiative--but also an incredibly refined palate and an encyclopedic knowledge of food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this volume, the focus shifts from food to drink: specifically, to sake. For centuries different types of sake have played the same roles in Japan as wine and beer have in the West, from inexpensive everyday drink to refined single-batch rarities. Above all, sake has been enjoyed as an accompaniment to a meal, and after a revelatory moment one night, Yamaoka decides that drink pairings must be an integral part of the Ultimate Menu. So which foods go best with which drinks? Sit down, pour yourself a glass, and read on!","brand":"VIZ Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412892025087,"sku":"9781421521404","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_89126489-994f-47e2-8c79-5c8dbaa37b3c.jpg?v=1758827717","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781421521404","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
