How do I prepare Sake?
The traditional way to serve sake is in a wooden box like cup which is square … about 2″ per side and 2″ tall. It has thick straight side walls with a brim about 3/16″ to 1/4″ thick. You then put salt on the top of the box walls and fill the box to overflowing … to show abundance. You heat or chill sake gently in the bottle wither with refrigeration (or an ice/water bath) or with hot but not boiling water in a pan. Look for Napasaki in a really cool blue bottle shaped like a fish. It is made in the traditional high standard way and did I mention it also comes in a really cool bottle shaped like a fish. It is reasonably priced at about $10-12 for a 375ml bottle.
