Warm sake is divided into different types depending on the temperature, including human skin sake around 35 degrees Celsius, lukewarm sake around 40 degrees Celsius, and hot sake around 50 degrees Celsius. Warm sake includes types that don’t have strong aromas, such as regular sake, honjozo sake, and junmai sake. it matchs.
You can also drink it chilled at room temperature (15°C to 20°C)!
Be careful not to drink too much
The alcohol content of Sake is around 15%. It is important not to drink too much and get sick! When drinking Western alcoholic drinks, the water you drink between drinks is called a chaser, but for Sake it is called Yawaragimizu.
