Great post! I really haven’t had very much experience with sake, so it’s interesting to learn more about it. I especially found the information about the different types of sake and the designations to be interesting. Gives me something to look for in the future.
My experience thus far with sake has been pretty much what you describe at the beginning of the post, pretty rough. This post did make me want to give it another shot though. Cheers!
Ben, thanks for dropping a line. Wish I could say go check out your local Sake bar in Lubbock, TX…but is that like saying lets get in some good fly fishing in Manhattan?
Next time you’re in the NYC neighborhood, we’ll go on an outing. Drop me a line.
Love this bar–especially that they serve in the sake in a “go”
Had my worst hangover after Decibel. All my fault, but anyway I am afraid of sake now.
Uwe, you must face your fear head-on and enter the belly of the beast. Back to Decibel you must go, sir. And come armed with a belly full of water.
Genevelyn, yep absolutely cool how they serve their sakes. I assume that “go” is another word for the “masu“, the wooden box that holds the glass. I like how its a sign of generosity that they pour until your glass is full and overflows into the box.
Like the newbie I am, I had no idea whether to pour the sake from the box into my glass and drink it, or to drink straight from the box. So, instead, I just stole the box and drank it when I got home. (Note to the owners of Decibel: I am only joking. I wouldn’t steal your masu. I’m just kind of a smartass).
Nice Dave! I have been there, it really is like another world, well country. Don’t really remember leaving, but I must have because that was almost 3 years ago. Keep up the good work.
