ah yes, i know that bottle well...and it knows me. we have a mutual respect for one another, but we're strangers the next morning....a looong time ago i finished a whole bottle by myself....needless to say i was tossed. gotta represent takara sake from back in my old hood, berkeley.

ah...the good ol' days.

Fortunately (?), my brother and I had the much smaller bottle (12-16 oz., I think)... :hehe:

I think there's a couple of sizes available for the SCB Nigori. I'll probably get one along with the Echigo beer later today.

it was a while ago.....thankfully....i think my liver finally recovered :beaten:

i like my sake hot.

in england hakutsuru sake is available.

i also like the nigori variety.

how do you guys heat it? i use a tokkuri set in a pan of hot water. i bet some of you cheat and use a microwave?!

tut tut!

I like my sake cold :woot:

not too much choice over here, and it's pretty expensive for a bottle of not so great sake..

a very rational argument....i concur.

it's a good feeling when you still got the bread to order that next drink: "mo ippai." :beaten:

Anyone tried Kubota Senjyu sake before? It is a great seller at Marukai and I'm wondering if I should pick up a bottle or not.

lol, I did try one really cheap brand sake, it was like $3 and tasted like crap. well not like poo, but it was tasteless. The cheapest acceptable sake over here costs around $7 (from Gekkeikan). I'm no expert whatsoever but sadly sake isn't that popular here so I don't get to try that many.

i once bought this sake that was sold in ziplock bags with a handwritten label entitled "wood grain alcohol" ... for some reason it didn't taste so good. :hehe: :rofl:

You'd think the alcohol would dissolve the bag... Eventually.

yeah....along with your stomach lining and a few million brain cells....sounds like an acceptable loss for most lushes.

Sake in a bag... :ashamed: now that is interesting, who would ever think of that!

I already find it strange to see some supermarkets selling pack of wine. (yup like a pack of juice)
