Japanese Sake - A treasure trove of natural amino acids
Just as an old Japanese proverb states （Alcohol is a cure for all ailments）, the moderate consumption of alcohol has always had a connection of some kind with good health. Recent research has revealed that this belief is partly due to the natural amino acids that are contained in large quantities in Japanese Sake. Amino acids are also currently being used in cosmetics due to their moisture retaining properties.
