10 en el contenido y 5 en la presentación.
El contenido es excelente, lo básico para empesar en el mundo del sake. Lo malo la calidad de la impresión, se siente un libro de baja calidad (paginas y portada). no es cómodo de leer por su rigides al hojearlo. Mejorando esto el libro sería un gran producto.

A deeper understanding of rice wine
This book is a source of invaluable information. It has the explanation of every type of sake and how it's made. The kimoto and yamahai methods were a first for me.I also like the explanation of the various types of rice used to make sake. The language in the book is made easy, so that anyone can understand the contents of this very good information. I think that we need to read this book at least twice in order to become familiar with the sake terminology.There are also some good recommendations of great sake: many of them are hard to find in Japan. However, with a little searching around: eureka!If you're into rice wine like I am, this is a good piece for anyone's collection.Good work John Gauntner!
