Yeah I'm tired of people catching me out by the accidental clink of my hip flask and the feint whiff of peppermint on my breath. There must be another way.

I’ve gotten a ticket for that a couple of times so I can relate

It's pronounced Saki right? I never tried that. You know me, I'm just looking for a nice cold beer so I'm not sure that would be my thing.

But first, you have to actually like sake... Yes, indeed. I tried it once many years ago and could not get beyond a single sip. Sickly and totally not to my liking.

I never liked warm sake but once I was turned on to cold sake I've never looked back. A good bottle of junmai daiginjo is the perfect accompaniment for fresh, high-quality sushi. Just like a well-paired bottle of wine. Really if you like wine, you should like sake (generally speaking, of course).
Now personally, I am not a fan of unfiltered sake, which is that cloudy, almost milky type of sake that you'll find adorning sushi bars across the land. They tend to be sweeter and even a little creamy. I'm just not a fan of it. Naturally, unfiltered sake is still filtered, it's just filtered differently through mesh with larger holes so you get more rice sediment, which gives it that cloudy/milky texture.
The daiginjo, specifically the junmai daiginjos, are crisp, light, much more akin to white wine but tends to be less sweet with significantly more body to it. If you find yourself in a high quality sushi place, ask for a glass of this stuff, cold, to go with your meal. Top notch.

It comes in many qualities and "flavors", from very light and dry to heavy and sweet. The Best is colorless, that is why some sake (pronounced SAH-Kay) cups have a design of navy and white concentric circles in the bottom of the cup. It should NOT be heated. One does not drink sake with sushi as both are rice based. Beer/ocha is the proper drink.. Onigiri sake is what you are describing. It is a "peasant's nostalgia" sake. Prices are all over the financial spectrum. Never Pour for yourself.

Jayman: as much as I admire and am intrigued by Japanese culture, Sake and Sushi are 2 things I've never taken a shine to.

Also really like yellow tail, octopus, spicy tuna, are also favorites off the top of my head. At the buffets I always make a point of grabbing a huge variety of different kinds. I like almost everything except the ones that have cream cheese in it. The more I talk about this the more motivated I’m getting to go back to the buffet! 😁

Do I personally? No. It has the same proof value as Western wines; hence they call it a "rice wine". However, its production is similar to beer brewing.
