What are your thoughts on the Japanese invention, Sake, the lovely rice wine. I find when I get it at some Japanese restaraunts it's amazing warm. I absolutely adore the taste. Anyone else enjoy this delicious beverage? :mrgreen:

Yes! I love sake too. So much so that I bought a couple sake serving "sets" so that I may drink it at home. Not only is it tasty, but enjoy the "ceremony" or traditions of how it is served, never pour your own. My closest friend and really got into it.
I also enjoy Sake - but for some reason it always tastes better in Japan! The one I really liked was Kakeuri (sp?) I believe it's made in the Niigata prefecture. I've seen it in the U.S. but at the time I didn't pick up a bottle and should have.:doh
Ok it was driving me nuts and I searched for the brand name... it's Kakurei Daiginjo and I found a link.
Niigata Sake Selections
It's the best I've ever tasted and it served cold. The warm sake I have a difficult time enjoying but I'm Gaijin so that's to be expected.
Thanks! Maybe, now that I have the name, I can search for it online.
I've never had cold sake, only warm, so this intrigues me.
If I may pry a bit, did you live in Japan, or were you visiting? If you would rather not answer, no worries.
I stayed in Japan twice for a few weeks at a time when I was in the Army. I went back in 2001 to Tokyo for my work and stayed an extra week and visited a friend who moved there. He happens to live in the Niigata prefecture and is an assistant manager or engineer part of the year at a ski resort there. We had a few bottles of that sake one evening and I think that's why I still remember the name of the snake that bit me. The great thing was, the hangover was minimal. I'd love to go back soon but finances are a little tight.
