How do you warm Sake?

[mkillio]

I got a nice bottle of Sake from my brother and it says to serve it chilled or warm. Since it's turning to fall I was thinking about warming it, so I was wondering how you are supposed to properly warm it and if there is a way to only warm some of it.

Can't believe that site. They say "bon appetite" at the end.

It should have been: KANPAI!! if they really knew what they were talking about.

Actually that depends on the sake. Some are better served cold, others are drunk warm. Moreover, it depends on your taste buds as well.

We put sake in hot water to warm it. Using microwave oven seems to be a very stupid idea.

No microwave, it destroys the taste and reduces the alc (since it evaporizes faster than the water).

As long as you keep it under 78 degrees celsius, the oh so important alcohol should be fine

Sake is my brother's Japanese Spitz dog. As it has a long coat I should think it does get hot, in summer

I'm surprised that nobody else has mentioned the obvious. Sake is horrible. You need to be drunk to drink it! :smile:

No, you are thinking of tequila.

Nope. I actually don't mind the odd tequila once in a while, as long as it's not the nastiest cheapest stuff, but Sake was not very nice on the (admittedly two) occasions I had some.

Perhaps it's just because it was warmed - got to admit I'm not a great fan of mulled wine or Irish coffee either!
