Sipping with the Sake Master = Welcome you to Sake Online =

It is with great excitement and anticipation for the future of sake in Australia that I welcome you to Sake Online.

When I first started promoting sake in Australia 12 years ago, I could only dream of the extensive choice of sake that is now available in this country. It is beyond my wildest expectation to also have this range accessible by the Internet and available for home delivery!
