How to drink sake? mix
How do you enjoy sake? Chilled or warmed? That's not all! If you want to enjoy the sake's original flavour and aroma drinking straight at appropriate temperature is always good.

Sake Highball

Green tea sake
These two awesome Japanese liquids are a great match! The green tea's bitterness gets mild thanks to sake's sweetness and green tea increases sake's umami. Also the mix of the refreshing green tea smell and alcohol will impress you. Some green tea makers also recommend this mixture and you can enjoy either hot or chilled. Other kinds of Japanese tea like Hoji tea and Genmai tea also match sake well!
How to make:
- Mix sake and green tea in the ratio of 1:1 If you have green tea leaves:
- Put around 6g green tea leaves in a tea pot
- Pour chilled 120ml sake in it
- Leave it for around 5min and pour it in a glass
Sake milk
You may think 'WHAT!??' with this combination - sake and milk! Actually this mixture is interestingly good. Milk makes sake mild and sake enhances milk's sweetness. Have you tried Kahlua and Milk? It's similar as this mixture. There is even sake which is specifically made for sake milk, so it's seriously accepted as a nice way to enjoy sake! Heated sake milk is also great in Winter. Instead of milk you can enjoy with soy milk or other kinds of milk of course!
How to make:
- Mix sake and milk in the ratio of 1:1
- Add sugar as you like
