Brands of sake
 
I'm planning a dinner party next month, and now that I'm 18, I can legally buy alcohol (I live in the UK).:D The party is at Benihana in London, and I was wondering if any of you could recommend me any brands of sake.
Thanks in advance.:cool:

Nakatashokuhin Royal Jelly Umeshu (Royal Jelly Iri Hachimitsu Umeshu)

That is some good stuff. I remember doing shots of those haha

Umeshu is great, but it isn't sake. Umeshu is wine made from ume plum where sake is wine made from rice.

Umeshu can be drunk warm or cold, like sake, and in summer it is often sipped on the rocks.

It is not like tequila, and isn't a "shot" spirit. Sip slowly to enjoy the flavor.

Like red and white wines, there are countless varieties of sake and umeshu, so without knowing what is available it is hard to make a recommendation.

Sounds good, though I would much prefer to savor just the umeshu. I am with MMM, umeshu is not for shots ..... unless its really poor quality. Then the Royal jelly shots of it would be better.
