Alcoholic Butter In Japan Allows You To Experience Sake That Melts In Your Mouth

Alcoholic sake butter in Japan


Butter is a beloved product that makes everything taste better, but what can make butter itself taste better? Well, Japanese butter company Canoble recently released an alcoholic sake butter on 12th March 2022, and it sounds delicious.


Aroma of sake enhanced by butter


This unique combination is achieved by kneading sake into butter, such that the flavours from the sake will emerge as the butter melts in your mouth.

The aroma of the sake has floral and fruity notes, which is further enhanced by the milky taste of the butter. You can also sprinkle a pinch of salt to draw out the natural sweetness of the sake.

The same butter is sold in a set of nine for ¥3,240 (~USD26.66). All nine pieces have different flavours as they were made with nine different types of sake.

Nine types of sake were used, and each of them expresses a complex but delicate flavour that arises from the unusual combination of rice and butter.

The different types of sake used resulted in a variation in the acidity, aroma, and intensity of the sake in the alcoholic butter.

Alcoholic sake butter is the most decadent treat ever


If you are itching to try the unique and potentially delicious sake butter, you can purchase it online here. Do note that the sake butter contains 3.2% ABV, so those who can’t take alcohol should refrain from consuming it.
