I'd go for chilled. What kinds did you get? Some Sake is sweeter than others, and the sweeter Sake tastes better chilled.

nothing pricy.. "Snow Beauty" and something "fresh and light" Hakushika? I'm chilling some right now.

The Snow Beauty is very sweet.

Chilled, best way to go...

Favs: Nagasaki (good+awesome looking bottle) and anything from Sho Chiku (smooth as silk). Both will sneak up up on you if you are not careful ~_^

If Japanese anime is to be believed, all sake is served hot and sipped from a small cup or bowl that is repeatedly refilled from a larger pitcher, while you are sitting naked in hot spring surrounded by women with gravity defying watermelon sized breasts, while peeping toms fire blood out of their noses like fire hoses. But that's only if you want to be authentic.

^I'll have to remember that

we drink ours sweet and warm, from a ceramic bottle into small ceramic shot glasses. Love it!

i had some nice georgian medium sweet red yesterday. i hate sweet but it was nice. Very nice typography on the bottle. Shame about the Global War on Regions of Ethnic Tension in Close Proximity to Fossil Fuel Deposits.

damn, wrong room again?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I like mine warm, served on Christmas eve in 1995 at an outdoor, no clothing hot spring in the foothills of Kyoto with some friends ...

Hot. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Fast. Like Vodka. I come from former Soviet Union. We drink to stay warm.

Depends on the sake.

Doesn't warming Sake minimize the flavor of cheaper bottles?

As far as I know, sake is traditionally served cold with hot food and hot with cold food.

I think after having a couple of bottles...I'm happy to go back to my bourbon or brandy.

Bourbon for hot Swampgirls, Brandy for cold ones
