hot sake
Warmed rice wine
Hot sake is Japanese rice wine served warm, typically heated to around 100–140°F.
Warming releases different flavor notes and creates a soothing drinking experience, especially in cold weather.
Lower-quality sake is often served hot because heat masks imperfections, while premium sake is usually served chilled or at room temperature: We ordered hot sake with our sushi.
