In recent years and for a number of trivial reasons I cannot be bothered to dwell on just now, I have started developing a certain interest about Japanese culture. This is kind of new, but you might have noticed it on this blog. So yes, a few days ago, looking at the stocks of alcohol we have, I was wondering if I should not try sake again, if I can find any good quality sake nearby. I say try again, because I did drink sake once, back in 1996(!), in a course about world's literature(!!). The teacher had given us samples to try at the end of a class. I had not been impressed then: I thought it had a papery taste. But my tastes in alcohol have evolved a lot since and I am wondering if I should give it another try. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments. Also, tell me if you have any experience drinking sake.

I have tried it a couple of times and have not developed a taste for it.

I have developed a fondness for the sweeter chilled sakes like Nigori. I have had one called Moonstone Asian Pear a couple of times at P.F. Chang's restaurant and it's quite nice. It reminds me of a semi-sweet Riesling wine but with more kick! It's made in the US in Oregon by a brewery called SakéOne.
J'en ai bu au Japon, avec certain repas c'est de rigueur. En même temps, je n'en ai pas bu en dehors du Japon. Donc, si tu manges des sushis ou du wagyu, ça fonctionne, autrement, tout seul, c'est pas un goût suffisamment acquis comme la bière ou le scotch.
