Saké has accompanied the Japanese people through history from ancient times. This ‘national drink’ is rich in adenosine, and is known to be effective in such things as anti-aging and the maintenance of beautiful skin. It also has a powerful relaxing effect, and is sometimes called ‘bottled massage’. We offer an in-room guide to saké and its benefits to help make your stay one of true revitalization. From beverage to spa treatment right there in your room, let the power of saké help make your stay one that brings you back to life.
