Unveiling the Future Standard for Sake Evaluation
a groundbreaking vessel designed to establish a new benchmark
for sake evaluation and propel Japanese sake onto the global
stage.
For centuries, inconsistent tasting practices due to varied
glassware have hindered the global appreciation of sake's
diverse flavor and aroma profiles.
Glassbacca, in collaboration with the National Research
Institute of Brewing (NRIB), Japan's leading authority on sake
research, has taken a bold step to address this challenge.
• The unique bulging shape and increased headspace
encourage the release of volatile compounds, allowing for
a more nuanced appreciation of subtle fragrances.
• This shape also amplifies the body and fragrance
elements of the sake.
• The slightly extended lip facilitates controlled intake, ensuring the sake coats the entire tongue and reveals its full flavor spectrum.
• Deviating from traditional glasses, the innovative base
with legs provides the ideal height for swirling,
enhancing aroma release and intensifying the sensory
experience.
• Spinning the sake faster on the glass wall allows for a
quicker and more pronounced scent experience.
The SAKE TASTING GLASS is more than just a tool; it's a commitment to quality and education. It represents a collaborative effort to increase global appreciation for sake by providing a standardized platform for evaluation and enjoyment.
Born from discussions and tastings with NRIB and experts, this glass is the culmination of extensive research and meticulous design.
This versatile glass is not only ideal for sake evaluation
gatherings and appraisal meetings, but also for
• Tastings at sake breweries
• Events and gatherings
• Individual exploration of sake's diverse forms and flavors
Through the experience of using this glass, we hope you'll embrace the charm of sake and discover a whole new world of flavor and appreciation.
