Sake help?
Wife & I want to try a good sake. Not the best high dollar stuff, and not cheap trash, but good affordable stuff. Something I could find in a supermarket like Meijer. In other words, relating to bourbon: not the Jim Beam, but the Buffalo Trace or Four Roses of saki.
Any help appreciated!Tags: None

Currently own:
Weber 22 and 26 Kettle.
Regular gasser with rotisserie.
Custom built horizontal stick burner.
Custom built duel fuel "whole hog" cooker.
​​​Many other tools of the trade.
We buy Homare brand Sake, produced by Homare Sake Brewery Co. It is sold at our sushi go-to joint and pretty sure total wine and more carries it. Along with the standard, we mostly purchase the non-filtered mango and strawberry sake. Highly recommend.

Huskee that is just so wrong... LoL
BTW without relating the two - have you looked at what the Beam distillery makes? And,
Sake is a bit like bourbons - Rice, Plum wine & rice, Plum wine? For fish dishes I like Kubota. To be frank you shouldn't order sake with sushi - they are both rice based and the wine should contrast the sushi.

Yeah I follow whiskey, Beam-Suntory is an amazing distillery and I love lots of what they produce, I am just not a fan of the Jim Beam namesake whiskey. Too nutty for me. I HIGHLY respect Beam and what they do though. And thanks for the sake tips! That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Not all sake is meant to be drunk hot. I drank a lot of sake the 10 years I lived in Japan and learned that the better brands are usually drunk at room temp or chilled. That rule isn't set in stone mind you, but it is a general rule. Rotgut is always served hot.
Many brewers put a guide on the label telling you the optimum temp. for the particular brand. Of course, if your buying sake brewed in Japan, you probably can't read the label. I can't, but I know my favorite brands
