Japanese Sake
Posted in Antiques on 04/15/2009 04:23 am by adminwhat does japanese sake taste?
and what can you compare it too.....what brand is good here in the U.S?
Some (particularly the ones that you drink chilled) taste like very dry white wine (some are so bone dry to the extent they run smooth like water), or fruity (like some white wine), and others more full-flavored. The ones you drink lukewarm/hot in winter are the ones where you instantly feeel the alcohol going around to your head (like you might with vodka).
I think it would be better if you wait till you get to Japan; many bars/"izakaya" (casual bar/restaurant) offer a variety of sake in small glasses/carafes, so you can just try a little
