@noellabo @noellabo If you dont mind me asking, do I remember correctly that you are japanese? I've recently got into sake and was wondering if you happen to have any good recommendations that are authentic to japan.
I'm a bit of a noob so forgive me if this question is not applicable for some reason.
@freemo @noellabo As for sake made using traditional methods, there are many sake breweries throughout Japan that are proud of their products, and it is difficult to choose one over another. Please check out the Asahi Shuzo KUBOTA website.

@freemo @noellabo There is also DASSAI, which is a modern sake brewing method. It happens to have the same name, Asahi Shuzo, but it is a different brewer.

Regular sake is made by Toji, a sake brewing artisan, but DASSAI quantifies the artisan's experience and intuition and manufactures without Toji, providing stable, high quality, delicious sake that is highly regarded.
@freemo Wikipedia in Japan has a detailed article about the habit of warming and drinking (Kan). (There seems to be no English version, so use machine translation!)

It is common for Japanese people to drink sake chilled, but as mentioned in the article, it is also preferred to drink it warm.
It is said that a certain liquor is delicious when you drink it cold, and delicious when you warm it, but I think it is best to drink it in the way you think it is delicious.
@noellabo Thank you once again!
@bane Translate what? You want to know what sake is or something?

@bane As the comment says, why not just use a translator?
@bane Ok I take that back, I just tried to use the translator and I got word pasta back. This is the first sentence I got...
Kanzake (Kanzake, liquor ๐ค also might be referred to as) the, heated liquor is that of. It should be noted, that the act of heating the liquor itself, cans put a (cans), you cans referred to as such as (chills), cans and the sake is Kanzake called the (Kanzake).
What the hell....
@noellabo
One last noob question for you... Do japanese drink some sake warm.. its commonly served that way in america but I'm not sure if thats just American ignorance at play or not. The bottles I got mostly say to serve chilled.
