4. Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, this is possible. Japanese sake is a drink that goes well with a wide range of foods and with which consumers can enjoy the change in flavor depending on the temperature and pairings. Therefore, knowledge about and equipment for making selections, choosing combinations, and especially controlling the temperature is indispensable.

    There are few people in the Japanese sake industry that have knowledge like a wine sommelier. It is not easy to know how to properly select the Japanese sake that has a flavor and price range suitable for the restaurant or hotel as well as how to provide and manage the sake.

    There are few people in the Japanese sake industry that have knowledge like a wine sommelier. It is not easy to know how to properly select the Japanese sake that has a flavor and price range suitable for the restaurant or hotel as well as how to provide and manage the sake.

    Further, when a sake becomes popular, it becomes difficult to acquire as it is subject to the unique limited distribution of the Japanese sake industry.

  • It is dangerous to install the product close to where water is used, where water could get on the product, in closed spaces, on unstable floors, or outdoors, so do not install the cellar in such locations.

  • Water drain equipment is not required. Water is drained to an evaporation pan on the backside from where the water naturally evaporates.

  • A tip-over prevention fitting is attached to the top of the cellar back to which a tip-over prevention belt or wire can be attached. The customer should perform the work to attach the tip-over prevention components. The load bearing capacity of the tip-over prevention belt or wire should be high enough to support the weight of the cellar when it is completely loaded with sake.

  • When installed in the restaurant hall, etc., it is OK not to connect a ground. In areas where there is a risk of electrical shock or condensation, such as in an underground room, or when it is installed in an area where water is used or could get on the cellar, the cellar should be grounded.
    Connect the ground wire to the ground connection screw at the bottom of the back of the cellar. For details, please use the inquiry form to ask your questions.

  • Yes, it can. However, the product was designed for commercial use, so there are items that must be checked in advance when apply for purchase.

  • The cellar contains a large compressor that can cool to -5℃, so it has a larger operating sound than a general home refrigerator. It has an operating sound that is comparable to that of a commercial refrigerator.

  • Yes, it is. The cellar also performs well for storing wine for long-term aging.

  • The cellar discharges heat from inside the cellar to keep it cool inside. For this reason, during cooling operation the condenser and compressor built into both sides and the back of the cellar heat up.
    Sometimes, depending on the ambient environment and set temperature, they may become too hot to touch for a long time, but this is part of the product design, so you can use the cellar without concern. The front of the cellar is also warmed. It has a built-in heater to prevent condensation from forming on the frame.

  • The cellar is expected to last about 10 years. The useful life will differ depending on the installation environment, usage conditions, and individual differences, so this is only a guideline. This is a mechanical product, so problems may occur, but a certain period is covered by the manufacturer warranty and a servicing system is also in place.
