I used to drink it warm whenever we went to our favorite Japanese steak house....however....there was the "sake incident".
My hubby had never tried it and I kept goading him until he finally tried it. Well......he puked on the hibatchi table. Hot, sizzling vomit is not something you want to smell, I think he scarred many people at that table that night....we have never been back and never have drank sake again.
Earlier this month, DH and I tried it for the first time in Epcot's Japan. There were about 10 types to choose from. The one we chose was chilled. Neither of us really cared for it, but we didn;t let any go to waste. It seems as though we could aquire a taste for Sake it we lived in an area the served it often.
It's like wine. Some are meant to be served cold, others warm. And like wine, the better quality of the sake, the better it tastes. Can't buy the equivalent of sake in a box and expect it to taste good.
glad to know there are other sake lovers like myself out there. i've always been surprised by the general lack of availability with the exception of japanese restaurants. we've been on cruises that were very popular with japanese touring goups and i would have thought it would have been available at the bars-but nope.
i ended up taking a bottle along when we did alaska a couple of years back-took my sake barrel with me and would ask room service for a thermal caraffe of HOT water, fill the barrel with sake and sit it in a container of the water to warm it. sitting on deck sipping on it several crew memebers and passengers remarked what a perfect drink it was for that type of cruise.
