Favorite Sake

drummachick · (#1 (**permalink**))

I've tried sake before and I didn't like it very much. That was a few years ago. I've been wondering if maybe I just had a bad brand. Kind of like how I hate Bud but love Kirin. So to the point....

What is your favorite brand of Sake? What do you recommend? What is the flavor of your faves like?

Thankz

Sake being a third choice for me usually, my preference leaned toward cold unfiltered varieties, until a Sake tasting a few weeks ago. Karen "Coy" is quite good, though a bit sweeter than most sake I have tried.

Of course when someone's favorite alcohol is umeshu, you can tell I prefer sweet wines.

Just can't explain my fondness for soju though.

Cold Sake if you had warm before. The Gekkeikan is usually used as a house sake because it's cheap and doesn't taste to bad warm. I like cold sake myself. Try Fuki cold, or try a unfiltered sake (it's milky looking) with a few cucumber sticks in it. Just because a sake is expensive doesn't mean it tastes better either, go to a asian supermarket and take a few small bottles thats the best way. Your own sampling party!
