Hot sake for super cold day

Posted on Jan 14, 2012 in Hiroko's Blog

Tonight NY will be around 20degree F. It will be wonderful if we can enjoy sake hot! – beyond body temperature. So, here is the list of sake which are suited to higher temperature warming.

Kikusui Kara-Kuchi Niigata prefecture
Nagaragawa Gifu prefecture
Shirakabegura. Hyogo prefecture
Suigei. Kochi prefecture
Tengumai Yamahai. Ishikawa prefecture

When you warm sake do not heat it directly in a pot. Transfer the sake into a ceramic or high temperature resistant glass flask, and put the flask in a hot bath (a pot of simmering water). Hot sake taste really good, but please avoid over-drinking it, since you will ruin your meal – you won’t taste it.
