It is said that the gods themselves revealed the brewing recipe for the rice wine sake to the Japanese around 300 AD. This special drink is made only from rice, spring water and a lot of manual labor. Traditionally, the Japanese sacrifice sake to the gods on ritual occasions - but of course they also like to drink it themselves. Particularly high-quality sake is an impressively aromatic drink and is enjoyed chilled, by the way.
