Shrubs, herbs, rice (sake) and even absinthe, this book could belong to the Wicked witch. It teaches you how to brew artisan potions. If there's a drinking book in the Harry Potter world, this is probably one.
I don't know much about Sake but I surely love drinking this smooth and mildly sweet Japanese dew. It's just so smooth. Sake bottles can fetch hundreds of dollars and get expensive quickly. Take a closer look at Japanese culture, it's rarely just about the drink itself. Japanese like to go to Izayaka's, a Japanese food and bar hangout that serves savory tapas, rich and oily, and they go so well with the light and almost plain sake. Explore these two cook books, they both touch on soulful Japanese cooking. Use these recipes for bar food, create izakaya style tapas, and chimi.
This coffee book below come highly recommended by staff at Paper Source (a popular San Francisco stationery shop in rich neighbors >_<). Home of the Wrecking Ball, Blue Bottle Coffee, and Sightglass Coffee, San Francisco is the home of a coffee boom amidst a tech boom. This artisan coffee book walks you through the perfect brew and pour. If you are looking for a perfect coffee table book, then this coffee brewing guide with architectural print like illustration is the way to go.
What if you like drinking fancy beverages, with alcohol while staying classy? Wine is only miles away from San Francisco city in the redwood forest and sprinkled among the rolling hills of Napa Valley. Perhaps the most popular wine guide for laymen is the Oldman's guide. Quite a franchise now, its original book was so successful, that there are now two new books: New World wine, and how to drink like a Billionaire!
Prefer reading infographics rather than Mark Oldman's narratives and strange humor? This wine infographics book is for you. All you need to know about wine in infographics
While you are at it, you can also watch Bottle Shock to get a quick rundown a of Napa wine history. Note not Sideways
