Today is Origami Day! So even if you don’t have this mind blowing holiday marked down on your desk calendar, we’ve got you covered. Because you know what the alcoholic beverage is the perfect partner in crime to your origami crafting, right? Sake, the Japanese rice wine. Unlike typical grape-made wine, making sake is very similar to the beer brewing process. It is traditionally served warm in either an earthenware or porcelain bottle and sipped out of a small porcelain cup.
However, sake is only one variable in our equation.
