Sake anyone? :D - 03-25-2008, 05:44 PM

I'm currently intrested in trying out Sake! Yes...I'm underaged but I'm a responsible drinker and I only wanna try too see what its like. What kinds do any of you reccomend for a first timer? I prefer something not too strong with a sweetish flavor too it.

Not too strong with a sweetish flavour too it?

You wouldn't really like Sake then. It tastes very bland and bitter at the same time (doesn't make your lips pucker but it's not sweet either). It can taste rather strong, especially if you're more interested in sweet tastes.

One you get used to the taste it's not bad at all. Come to think of it the best way I can word it's taste (at least the brands I had... mind you crap Sake selection at our LCBO) is very mild, less minty buckleys. Quite tart. Definitely an acquired taste.

Yea... shoulda specified. Sake does have a very "strong" taste to it. Do you like wine at all?

Sake is ment to be drunk with sweet things like Miso soup, Eeel Udon (not sweet but it has a very stronge ocean flavor) or those green tea sorta candy things they have during tea time. Sake is ment to balance out japanese cooking its really good with some spider sushi too. As for good brands that I'm not sure about all Ive been able to get is smerknof ice and cheap beer =/ oh the splended selections oh hawaii. Oh yea Sake is good with a smooth cig too like 555's (my brand) .


I'm not racist . . . I hate everyone equally.

If you really like Wine then you'd probably like Sake too.
