We have been following up on this rather new and trendy development of “cup” sake for a year or so. Cup sake is a 180 ml cup with a pull-top. We have heard some negative comments from kura and sake stores, especially about how difficult quality control can be during distribution. However, as a consumer, we find this cup sake very handy. In sake tasting for a small group or two of us, we find the one cup sake very convenient. Or, if you are like Te-chan, who loves to collect labels, this is a good way to find some interesting labels.

I just came across the article about the Champions Cup where they selected top 40 cup sake out of 187 in several categories.

I did not know there are so many cup sake now. I guess more labels to collect for Te-chan.
