Can we talk about sake? Recently went to a sake bar and was surprised

Wow this is just like one of my japanese animes!

Is it worth the price tag?

>>8898537
I go to Walgreens and get the one that's 3 bucks. It's nice chilled and warm. Idk, Sake is cool. Don't know too much of what's the best. I just like the buzz

>>8898630
Tards gonna tard, anon.

>>8898733
Can you give me the brand name? I have just been going through the brands available at my local asian market and so far the stuff from California is the most delicious IMO

Sake was the only alcohol my parents let me drink when I was growing up, and I really liked it, but I haven't had it since my mid-teens. I really should get a bottle again.

>>8898537
I don't actually drink often so I just have a bottle of what I assume is basic bitch tier Gekkeikan. I did go to a sake tasting once and had a Yuzu flavored one and a junmai daiginjo that were fan-fucking-tastic

>>8898537
otokoyama and karatamba are both pretty good. look for junmai sakes.

Kizakura Yamahai

Fucking cheap but good. Go to everytime.

sake is alright, the cheap stuff usually sucks though

>Asian friend has housewarming party
>They offer some kind of unfiltered traditional sake
>Full of yeast clumps

I gulped it down and thanked them, but that was disgusting.

>>8900894
clumps? that's not supposed to happen, it was bad sake. unfiltered doesn't mean lumpy.

you know how most whites don't know shit about wine? so it is with asians and sake. does that blow your mind?

>>8898630
Anon, there is no greater evil in the world than enjoying a Japanese thing.

I wish gay bars where i lived served sake

theres a big gap in the market for an Eastern gay bar here in London

I drink soju

I like the chinky brown dubious tasting rice wine desu. I think some sake varieties can also have that flavor.

Fucking horrible. Literally tastes like kilju.

I wish my town was big enough to have a sake bar. I'd be there often. I don't really have much selection in my town but your image and the basic GEKKIKAN is all my town offers. Both are like $8 a bottle and I enjoy them warmed in a pot. I don't know much about sake, but it's become my favorite alcohol as of late.

>>8901297
That shit is evil. Does the job but burns like hell and gives a nice headache the next day. Great if you wanna give it to someone trying alcohol for the first time and you want to discourage them from drinking more.

>>8901531
Tastes like it too, it amuses the shit out of me how prices of that stuff have gone through the roof in the last 15 years

anyone who says soju is good is a fucking retard, it's literally just neutral spirits watered down and sweetened until palatable to sensitive gooks and could easily be given to school children

Is it okay to drink this at room temperature?
How should I drink Sake?

>>8901800
you would give booze to school children? for shame anon

I mentioned this in the previous thread but pic related is a super accessible lower cost daijingo that should serve as your baseline for how you judge sake. If you drink this and find yourself wanting more, there's a whole world of amazing varieties out there.

>>8902084
You think i can find this in my local Asian supermarket?

>>8902089
Yes, it's super common. Here's an acceptable junmai jingo that's pretty good for the price, but the daijingo is cheap and worth the extra 10bux

>>8902089
Get it from bevmo

Unfiltered sake > all

>>8902608
Unpasteurized sake > your shit tastes

>>8902759
I don't think sharts can get unpasteurized sake, it's only available for like three months out of the year in Japan

Could you *BE* more ignorant?

>>8900894
The white clumps were rice not yeast.

>>8898537
had sake once, a $8 bottle, I think it was "plum"
it was good

Unfiltered sake is my favorite, so sweet

>>8904118
That was plum wine, not rice wine.
