Sake should be drunk warm, right?
'Sake should be drunk warm, right?'
A question that comes up again and again - and rightly so - but cannot be answered with a simple yes or no.
If a sake has enough body, means it has a low rice polish rate and thus 'more meat on the bone', it can be a real drinking experience to enjoy it warm.
Depending on the drinking temperature, the very same sake can reveal different aromas and flavours. This is another evidence that sake is a unique alcoholic beverage.
Sake to heat
shizuku is happy to recommend savoury and tasty drops for the cold season, for example...
... the smooth, full-bodied Asahimai Junmai
... the round and intense Inatahime Ryokan
... the strong, earthy-dry Miyabi
... the aromatic, powerful Goriki Junmai
It's worth trying, if it's the right sake. Enjoy trying it out and kanpai!
