BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 21, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 21, 2009 I don't consider myself a Sake connoisseur by no means, but I do love my sake! I just found a new (to me) sake by Momokawa called "Diamond". Man it is smooooth!. http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?productid=7879 What's your favorite?

Can you explain how Sake tastes? Is it supposed to be like a beer or a liquor? Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 Like hot rice vodka throw up. Quote
VolFan Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 It's like a super light whiskey/vodka combo with less alcohol. Some tastes more like bananas, some sweet, some dry, some has a ricey overtone, some is more minerally. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 Is it clear or brown? I only drink brown liquor. Quote
VolFan Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Usually clear or cloudy, why do you only drink brown liquor? Quote
Super User Dan: Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 Usually clear or cloudy, why do you only drink brown liquor? you mean other than the fact that I have male parts? ;D Because I don't like any clear liquors. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted November 21, 2009 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted November 21, 2009 It's like a really strong wine. Can be served warm, room temp, or chilled (depending on what type you get). Some have spicy overtones, and are designed as a sipping drink unto themselves. Many of the "Americanized" Sake's are watery, and don't have a lot of taste - especially when served too hot. Not everyone likes Sake. But then again, most people have only tried the Americanized versions. Ugh! Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 Sake is rice wine, not liquor and I prefer it warm then sipped. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 21, 2009 Super User Posted November 21, 2009 I prefer unfiltered sake. Room temp, not warmed. Next time you're in town Glenn, I'll take you to a great place that has an awesome sake selection. Quote
Koop Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I like sake quite a bit, I had it a lot when I was stationed in Japan. My favorite was always the warm sake that had a fruity taste to it. The way it was explained to me was that the warm sake usually "cheaper" then the sake's that are served cold. The reasoning is they said the warm sake is served warm to bring out the flavors more, where the cold sake didn't need to be heated for the flavor. I still havn't found a cold sake that I like better than the warm sake... a lot of the colds taste like gin to me. Quote
b.Lee Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Glenn, I ought to send you a bottle of my dad home made sake and other rice wines. He has been doing it for over 20 years and does it the old fashion way. Truely amazing. Quote
