do any of you have a favorite brand of Sake? i'm just curious. i've had it before, but i'll admit that i'm not very knowing about the rating systems and what brands are good and what brands are not....

any advice?

my fave is

Nigori-sake
Nigori -"Cloudy"- sake is unfilterd or roughly filterd so that some Moromi in the fermenting tank make it into the bottle. This sake is a milky white appearance.
Nigori-sake is bold and sweet taste.


I don't go for warm sake too much, it's ok but I'll always choose the above cuz it's cold and sweet. reminds of coconut milk in color and flavor...but not taste.

And I go for the warm stuff.

Delicioso. And it goes straight to the brain.

Whatever it is, it's gotta be HOT!

I rather like the stuff at PF Changs.

and honestly, i am not sure why people don't drink this all the time. the buzz is awesome. it is like ecstacy of the alcohol family. japanese people are the bomb.

In all the years I've been eating sushi, for some reason I've never tried sake. Y'all have convinced me that I need to try some the next time.

Thanks for the question, Mr J.
