As well as being one of the most famous drinks in Japan, Sake is also widely used as a cooking ingredient, just like the use of red or white wine in European cooking. It's made of rice and water and is made with a brewing process similar to that of beer making, although we have come to know it as rice wine.
Sake is often used hand in hand with Mirin, another type of rice wine - Sake has less sugar but a higher alcohol content and Mirin has lower alcohol and a higher sugar content.
Sake can be used in loads of different dishes; stir-fries, soups, broths, marinades, stews, when cooking Japanese rice.

These radishes were crisp with a little fiery kick. Really nice in sandwiches or on the side of strong cheese or with Asian dishes
All the SF and ingredients are curated by Ben and Alice - don’t expect a choice of six different brands of sesame oil (say), expect the one Ben loves and that’s on the shelf in his own kitchen. So many of the items stocked have a story behind them. The recipes on the site are well worth a look - achievable recipes for a busy life that deliver big on flavour. My favourites are the different White Mausu sauces - give everything a good bit of zing, the Don Bicarte Anchovies and of course Tajin.
Nothing but praise for this service. Recipients of the gift boxes were over the moon - carefully curated and presented - a big win
Thank you so much Max - that's really heartwarming to hear. We spent a long time pulling our Somerset Foodie Gift boxes together, carefully curating the ingredients and choosing the books. Only the best from Ben! Really appreciate your kind words. Thanks for being a fab customer.
This is a must try product. In the past I have never been a fan of aubergine but after trying this product at one of Somerset Foodie’s tasting events I’m hooked. I’m now on my 5th jar. Just follow Ben’s recipe and you’ll have a truly delicious and light snack. 5 stars all the way.
Ahh - thanks Paul! That's great to read. We absolutely love making babaganoush with this aubergine puree too. Thanks for taking the time to write a review - it is always so much appreciated. See you guys again soon. Ben and Alice x
