I just bought a bottle of sake How do you drink this shit? Is

Is it good sake? The generalization would be you stick it in the fridge, wait, then when it's cold, open it and drink it in one sitting. If it's not so great, you microwave it first. It's safe to store opened but the flavor deteriorates within a day, like an aromatic white wine.

Generally speaking though, outside of Japan, the sake you will get in stores is already bad by the time it gets to you, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sake that was shipped correctly, stored correctly, and sold within its drinking window is mostly only available in large cities at a specialized shop. Chances are it's the sake equivalent of skunked beer.

Microwave it is. If your microwave has a chaos setting use that. It was specifically developed by the Japanese to destroy the unpleasant isomers that develop in low quality sake.

You drink it hot and they have these little sake shooter cups (kind of like shot glasses but made of porcelain) that you're supposed to drink it out of

cheap sake tastes like varnish so you drink it hot to mask the flavor
good sake you drink chilled
(I prefer the flavor of cheap hot over good cold myself)

you drink it in little cups, they aren't really shots, the typical cup holds 6oz of liquid so they take a few sips to finish
it's one of those things where you drink with a friend and you keep filling each others glasses so they are never empty
