Yoshiko Ueno-Müller Sake Book: The Art and Craft of Japan’s National Drink

The definitive book on Japan’s national drink, this visually stunning celebration of the culture, craft, and history of sake pairs perfectly with the growing boom in its consumption across the globe.

Sake is a "liquid art form" deeply rooted in Japanese culture — and it’s gaining increasing popularity around the world. Authored by Germany’s leading sake expert, this opulent coffee-table book explores Japan’s iconic drink in all its richness: from the most important sake types, brewing techniques, aromas, and rituals to food pairings and cultural traditions. Expertly researched, visually stunning, and written in an accessible style, this book is a true invitation to discover the millennia-old craftsmanship behind sake brewing.

With her now multi-award-winning publication, Yoshiko Ueno-Müller presents a heartfelt project that blends knowledge with sensual visual storytelling — bridging Japanese aesthetics with European appreciation of taste and tradition.
