me jane 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think it's more a matter of personal preference than the type of sake. Have a look at this page. http://www.sake-world.com/html/hot-or-cold.html Link to post Share on other sites

spacefrog 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Some sake can`t be heated. it depends if it has been pasteurised or not amongst other things.Unpasteurised sake should never be heated! there should be a pic on the back label with some pictogram displaying if it can be heated or not. In fact only cheap honjozo can really be heated(atsukan) and some of more expensive ginjoshu can be warmed(nurukan). Warming should never really be above 45 degrees, what I do is use a ceramic jar that my ceramic sake bottle fits in and fill it with boiling water and keept it in there for about 3.5- 4 mins.

thursday 1 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I don't like warm alcoholic drinks. Warming will evaporate some of the alc (bp 78 degrees). Why waste perfectly good alcohol. But I do have a sake jar warming set, which I never use. Link to post Share on other sites
