sake bomb

Japanese beer ritual

A sake bomb is a drink made by dropping a shot of sake into a glass of beer and drinking it quickly.

The ritual often involves balancing the sake shot on chopsticks across the beer glass, then slamming the table to knock it in.

Popular at Japanese restaurants and izakayas, typically accompanied by chanting: Sake bomb!
