The basis of sake preservation that way to store Japanese Sake is a cool and dark place. Ultraviolet rays are the number one cause of deterioration of sake. When exposed to water, the color changes to a yellowish or brownish hue in a short period of time, and a peculiar deteriorated odor called “sunlight odor” is generated. The reason why many bottles of sake are green or brown is to make it difficult for ultraviolet rays to pass through.
In addition, in order to maintain the quality of delicate sake, there are many cases where liquor stores use refrigerating cases that do not emit ultraviolet rays or have UV cuts on the glass. Ultraviolet rays are contained not only in sunlight but also in fluorescent lamps, so be careful about the storage location and storage method at home.
Oxidation must also be prevented.
Oxidation is also a great enemy for sake. Once the stopper is opened, it comes into contact with oxygen in the air and begins to oxidize, and the taste changes steadily. It may deteriorate depending on the product and storage conditions. In many cases, it is basic to drink sake as soon as possible after opening it.
