How To Store Sake?

Nihonshu (Sake)

In a dark cool place before opening. Better to be consumed in 18 -24 months after the production date. After opened, keep it in a refrigerator and consume in 3-4 weeks.

Shochu

In a shelf either before or after opened. Just like vodka or whisky.

Awamori

In a shelf either before or after opened. Just like vodka or whisky.

Umeshu

If it is 100% pure Umeshu, you can keep it in a shelf either before or after opened. If it is a plum wine (mixed Umeshu and white wine or Umeshu made from Nihonshu or other white wine.), you need to keep it in a refrigerator after opened.
