Serving Suggestions
Premium sake is best served chilled. Traditionally sipped from an ochoko, but it can also be enjoyed from a wine glass, coffee mug, or straight from the bottle. Pro Tip: Flip the bottle upside down a few times to mix the cloudy sake to perfection before serving. This sake pairs excellently with spicy foods like curry or spicy tuna poke, and complements your favorite spicy sushi roll perfectly.
