All I know about Sake is I had 3 bottles of the stuff and can't remember anything from that night

>> No.17768845

I only tried sake that is usually used for cooking. It was pretty terrible honestly, but I am still curious to try a higher quality one.

Like red wine, cooking sake is pretty horendous on its own.

I really enjoy sake. Smooth and naturally sweet nigori without additive flavors is the best.

>> No.17768896

I only enjoy amazake, which is not really sake, but I hate drinking anyway so it works out.

This is the only sake I drink. As far as I'm concerned it beats the shit out of everything else anywhere near it's price.

I tried two cheap variants and they both had a very nasty ''sweet rot'' aftertaste, which I suppose is to be expected when buying low quality stuff

The cost on that spiked way too much after it won whiskey of the year, there are good Japanese whiskeys but at that price I'd go for a decent scotch, irish whiskey, or hang my head in shame and drop a ton on decent bourbon (Bakers is where it's at)

warm sake is cheap table stuff. it is heated to help mask the bad flavors.

good sake is always cold.

So I'm gonna visit my parents in a few days and I wanna try sake. Are there any popular brands? I'm looking for something fairly priced but not too cheap or expensive, and Japanese import. I'm in Canada so the LCBO is the only common place I'd be able to get some.

Its hard to get any decent sake in US. Anything drinkable is over prices.

Maybe the US micro sake brewer might have something decent.

I tend to like nigori (cloudy) sake over junmai (clear). The best I've had is Tozai Snow Maiden, but I'm sure better exists.

There's a locally-produced sake I've been wanting to try, but it's so goddamn expensive that any goodwill created by its being made here is drowned out by sheer consumer outrage.

beer/wine is for enjoying with food.

Depends on the type.

>>17814887
There's thousands of brands of sake, I have no way of knowing that they'll have. If they tell you what kind of sake it is, just try a bit of every one.

Try the 炉里ピッス, if they are a Japanese Culture convention that wants itself to be taken seriously they must have it and offer it to you.
