How are you supposed to drink Sake?

[royalfan5]

I bought a bottle of Sake for a party tomorrow. What is the commonly accepted method for serving it?

[Frozen Sooner]

Very small glasses. Warm.

[Frozen Sooner]

And be verrrrrry careful. It will sneak up on you.

I noticed the alcohol content. I figured that might be a possibility.

[SoonerGirl06]

Sake hangover = Not good.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Yes, yes it will.


First time I had sake, I thought I was fine after a carafe or so. Then I tried to talk and my tongue just didn't work like it's supposed to. Sad, really. :O

[KC//CRIMSON]

Sake & Sushi = the win!

Yeah, until the sake sneaks up on you and you puke raw tuna out your nose. :(

[StoopTroup]

Sake should be drank without your shoes on.

Nekkid. In a hot tub with a bee-yoo-tee-ful woman.

I'm going to the wrong party for that to happen, it's mostly big married women and gays.

You can't always get what you want, you get what you need.;)

You asked, I'm telling you. Sake is a cold weather drink. The Nips don't even drink it in hot weather.

C'est la vie, I suppose. Luckily I have always been able to drink all kinds of booze in all kinds of weather.

Thanks Czar...

I have just reaffirmed that I never ever want to visit Japan.

I think I have a bottle of that in the rack right now.

I thought sake was served chilled? That's how they did it the last time I had it in a Japanese restaurant.

[royalfan5]

So I used the innerweb, and discovered that sake is served chilled in the summer and warm in the winter. Heating it hides the imperfections, and that practice developed during WWII. Professional sake tasters prefer it served at room temp.

Sake bombers! A group of people hold a shot of warm sake over their beer, say Aye! really loud while pounding the table, drop the shot into the beer and chug. That's how all the real hillibillies drink it.

[Fraggle145]

Actually the sake bomb is warm sake in a shot glass suspended on top of a glass of beer, preferably sapporo on chop sticks. Then you yell SAKE BOMB and pound the table making it fall off the chop sticks into the beer then you chug.

For the record certain types are cerved cold while the cheaper stuff is typically served warm (although not always). if you have Momokawa that is served chilled, especially the pearl variety. Gaikeikan is definitely meant to be warm. it will sneak up on you, but if you balance it out it is one of the best drunk feelings eva.

then top it off with a glass of sweet plum wine.

Sake bombs = waste of alcohol. Done wrong, which usually happens when you get a few sloppy/drunk people around, causes a big mess.

Thats the point.

[TexasLidig8r]

Sake is incredibly diverse.. so many different types, flavors.. some premium, some not. Some are meant to be served at room temperature, some chilled, some warmed (traditionally it was 98.4 degrees).

Sake = good
Sashimi = real good
Calif. Rolls = the succ.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

This entire thread is correct. You drink it the way you like to drink it - there is no wrong way.

Most people think the traditional way is room temp or a bit warmer. And that comes from people trying to make cheap sake taste better from back in the day. The lower quality stuff tastes like butt cold. Kinda the opposite of what you'd think about liquor.

I like it out of the box, room temp in a little ceramic sake cup. Sipped. Slowly.

[Mjcpr]

The.....stuff tastes like butt.....

Booty's right; vile liquid.

[I_SMELL_FEAR]

The way I like to drink it is the way Eddie Sakamura did in Rising Sun. Although I never have...

[RFH Shakes]

Bong it!

[royalfan5]

It pretty much tasted like kerosene to me. However, the German wine I had was nice.

[King Crimson]

i like it. though, me and a buddy used to have some ugly episodes when he'd drink too much of it (most every time). he'd slip into some "character" he called "the pan-dimensional blood bird"....though it was more like the Andy Kaufman character, Vic Ferrari, on Taxi....combined with kleptomania.

for heating it to temp (about 98 degrees, i think) it's easy to homestyle a rig. you need some kind of ceramic vessel and put it in a pot like you'd boil pasta in....but shallower water level. boil the water and put in yer ceramaic jug of saki. and then all you need is a cooking thermometer. kinda like a direct double boiler, but not really.

What'd I tell ya?

Nasty ****. I'd take a Bud Light over that stuff 1,000 times out of 1,000.

From a Sake set and VERY slowly. Stand up occasionally to be certain you're still capable of doing so on your feet and not your nose.
