Whats sake like?

Hmm I am getting increasingly suspicious of your lack of taste. Zinfandel all terrible [yes I know I owe you a bottle!], sake all terrible. At least rotty was openminded to the idea that he possibly had had a bad one.
I have had some amazing sake and some stuff I literally couldn't drink it was so horrible. It's wine. It's VERY varied.
Admitably, I've only had a few different types (3, I believe) but it was just something that I didn't like.
Of course I accept you get different types (I'm a whisky lover, so go figure!) but I was generalising based on my experience.
I'm trying to think of a bar in Glasgow that would have a fair selection. If I could then I'd happily take a note of a good one (they'd be likely to have) and make sure to try it soon, but I can't think of any such bars and don't eat Japanese food very often (owing to a lack of decent Japanese restaurants!)
Glad you haven't forgotten about the bottle. It's my birthday in November.

Fortunately for you we have two bottles in the kitchen that we're using as candle holders. I have no idea of the names [any Japanese speakers know?] but here's what they LOOK like - these are apparently common ones. I can confirm both were delicious.
[Brown volcano one]
[Coloured geese one]
If you see these ones in a bar, try them.

There's lots of different sake's and they do vary a lot in taste so basing your opinion on a single one may be ruling out other you would like. Personally I'm not keen on it (I don't tend to drink any spirits) but my dad likes it.
You'll get warm sake that's a bit nasty as serving it warm is supposed to be to make poor quality sake taste better.

Plum wine is chiefly Korean. It's great, though gets you drunk faster because of the higher sugar content.
Is it? I had a bottle of it at a Japanese resteraunt. They even served it in this fancy little vessel that kept it cold and the cups were like tiny eggcups almost. Sake cups? Dunno...
I meant that it's the main drink of Korea. Of course they serve it in Japan too.

I've only had it once but I really didn't like it.

My brother brought a bottle back from Japan last year. It is nice. I tried it hot and cold and I prefer cold.
