You mean HOT sake? Yes, this often-maligned segment of the sake industry is actually one of the most flavorful and expressive in all of the sake world. Hot sake does not mean bad sake, it’s actually bad sake that has been over-heated to mask the flavor of bad sake. There are 100’s of amazing sake that are made to be warmed, and there are even warm sake competitions in Japan. It’s a very fun segment to explore or to become reacquainted with, because of all the libations out there sake has the largest serving temperature spectrum by far.
