Beau-Zone Layer - Ozeki One Cup
Is it the King of Sakes? You bet it is, and this brew has forever changed the illustrious history of sake. Hands down no other sake made today or ever has had the brand name and brand awareness to match this perfect little sake package. Is it popular? A brewer in Niigata once told me that the total output of sake for the entire prefecture of Niigata from every brewery in one year is less than a year's-run of One Cup! Sure it is machine made, and is considered a commoner's sake. Sure it is served from vending machines to drunks more often than not, but at the end of the day it is pure sake history and has to be considered one of if not the most universally recognized sakes. Is it a perfect sake? No! Is it a garbage sake? No! It quite simply is a One Cup and it rules!
