＼ 5 Features ／

1. 54 essential keywords

Complicated terminology is one of the many barriers to sake. However, sake playing cards organize that terminology into keywords and catchphrases. With a simple summary, they are easier to digest than in books and on the web.

2. Simple explanations of Keywords

One fact per card!
Explanations are kept concise to make them easy to digest and facts are grouped into themes by suit to make the information easy to organize.
♠ History and Culture
♥ Manufacture Process
♦ The Sake Types
♣ Sake Labels

3. Intuitive illustrations

Rice, koji, and water—the ingredients of sake brought to life!?
Sake is challenging to decode, not only in terms of its terminology but also in its unique culture and tools. Illustrations on the cards present this information more intuitively with cartoon characters to bring the magical world of sake to life.

4. Expanded Online Learning

Take your study to the next level!
There simply isn’t enough space on one playing card to explain everything about each keyword, so each card comes with an additional webpage of information which can be accessed by scanning the QR code printed in the left corner of each card, enabling you to expand your learning, anywhere, anytime!

5. Learn more about Japan’s prefectures.

Each card features a Japanese prefecture introduced in the upper right corner. Furthermore, by scanning the QR code, you can also explore the local appetizers of each prefecture. When learning about the prefectures of Japan, be sure to familiarize yourself with Japanese appetizers as well! They can serve as a reference for choosing appetizers or add to the enjoyment of your travels. Let’s indulge in the regional appetizers of Japan along with a variety of Japanese sake nationwide.
