;D Thank you for the clarification!

Can you explain how Sake tastes? Is it supposed to be like a beer or a liquor?

Like hot rice vodka throw up.

It's like a super light whiskey/vodka combo with less alcohol. Some tastes more like bananas, some sweet, some dry, some has a ricey overtone, some is more minerally.

Is it clear or brown? I only drink brown liquor.

Usually clear or cloudy, why do you only drink brown liquor?

you mean other than the fact that I have male parts? ;D Because I don't like any clear liquors.

It's like a really strong wine. Can be served warm, room temp, or chilled (depending on what type you get).  Some have spicy overtones, and are designed as a sipping drink unto themselves.  Many of the "Americanized" Sake's are watery, and don't have a lot of taste - especially when served too hot.

Not everyone likes Sake.  But then again, most people have only tried the Americanized versions.  Ugh!

Sake is rice wine, not liquor and I prefer it warm then sipped.

I prefer unfiltered sake.  Room temp, not warmed.  Next time you're in town Glenn,  I'll take you to a great place that has an awesome sake selection.

I like sake quite a bit, I had it a lot when I was stationed in Japan.  My favorite was always the warm sake that had a fruity taste to it.  The way it was explained to me was that the warm sake usually "cheaper" then the sake's that are served cold.  The reasoning is they said the warm sake is served warm to bring out the flavors more, where the cold sake didn't need to be heated for the flavor.  I still havn't found a cold sake that I like better than the warm sake... a lot of the colds taste like gin to me.

Glenn, I ought to send you a bottle of my dad home made sake and other rice wines. He has been doing it for over 20 years and does it the old fashion way. Truely amazing.
