yeah, if you have a good sake, you definitely want to keep it in the fridge or a wine cellar - you don't want too much light or heat to come to it. And if you open it, make sure you drink it within 2-3 days.
For the cheap stuff, it doesn't matter too much - the subtle changes in the taste aren't obvious. _________________

Also, I might suggest trying to drink it at different temperatures.. sometimes I'll have a bottle I keep at fridge temp (usually too cold) and taste it cold, then let it warm up a few degrees try it again.
I've found that some Sakes are perfect at 50 degrees, where others are best a little warmer - sometimes it brings out some of the flavors more.
But generally, heated sake is just to cover up the imperfections of fats and proteins from a >85% seimaibuai sake. I have found a few junmai ginjos and junmaishus which actually do well at slightly above room temp. _________________

Costly Cat Sh*t
====================================
$100 a shot for cat dung coffee dripping with the sweet scent of doo doo
Peter Jones department store in London selling coffee shots for $100 each
Blend is a combination of Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kupi Luwak
Kupi Luwak coffee beans are harvested from the dung of Indonesian jungle cat
LONDON, England (CNN) -- A London department store has started selling coffee for $100 a shot.
If the price sounds unappealing, then shoppers also have to overcome the unusual method of cultivation, which sees the coffee beans harvested from the faeces of an Indonesian jungle cat.
Even so, the Peter Jones store says the luxury blend -- called Caffé Raro -- is one of the world's rarest and most premium coffees.
Made by the Italian company De Longhi, Caffé Raro combines Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kupi Luwak, two extremely rare coffees.
The beans of Kupi Luwak are harvested after first being ingested by Civet cats and only around 260 kilos of the coffee is produced each year.
"The cats select the best beans to chew. It's rather like a natural filtering process," Carie Barkhuzen, a spokeswoman for the upmarket store in London's upmarket Sloane Square told CNN.
The coffee, which went on sale yesterday, is either available at $100 for a shot at the Peter Jones Espresso Bar, or shoppers can buy 100g packs of the coffee beans to take away for the same price.
"It's not exactly flying off the shelves -- it's very expensive after all -- but customers are buying it," Barkhuzen said.
The proceeds from the coffee sales will go to charity.
