Thank you for the comment. I bought the white ones at a rest station on Mt. Fuji. As to the dark brown ones with rabbit figures, I bought them at a souvenir shop on a mountain. So, they all are from mountains.

I can't wait to try my sake this evening that I bought in Sainsbury's. It won't compare with the stuff Ichiro is drinking because it says it was produced in the Netherlands. However, it will taste good to me after waiting this long. It's 14% and will take me back to the late '70s when I lived in Tokyo for a brief time. Kampai!

Great, I was a wine drinker but since I got a bottle of sake some time back I am totally hooked on it. Although expensive here I get sake fermented in California, so the taxes are less. I bought a sake set, 2 tokkuri and 5 ochoko on ebay. trying to find how old it might be. I used to warm the sake in the microwave but that is not the way to do it and stopped doing that. Thank you for your sake warming lesson, better to learn it from someone from the sake country, who enjoys a good cup of sake.

Thank you for the comment. I am pleased to know you liked my video. Lately, I often use an antique sake warming device called kandouko (燗銅壷）. I added the link to the video showing a kandouko to the description of this video.

I looked at your video of the antique sake warmer, very interesting. It takes some work to start it i think it would be nice for use with friends if you plan to drink warm sake on a evening. When it is cold outside ...

i think I would do that when camping out in cold weather. Thank you for the link. I am still searching for info on my sake set. Age and where it was made. I can count to 10 in japanese but to understand the kanji is difficult.

@sirspuij

Unfortunately, my antique sake warmer is not very large, and can supply warmed sake to only up to two or three drinkers at a time constantly. Maybe, I need a larger one.

@Ichiro0402Nakano

Yes I saw in the video it can hold only small flasks, aw well then everyone must be patient to get there sake. Or you can buy or build a bigger one for a bigger flask or maybe 2 flasks. The Gekkeikan sake I drink here is not the high grade sake but I find it very nice to drink. At room temperature or warmed. Even in summer warm sake is nice. If I get sake from japan then at the cheapest it is twice as expensive for a bottle. I tried to post a link but that does not work.

Thanks for the Video was very informative!

I use to do it this way but now I just heat up a pot of water and put the whole sake bottle(one i bought from the store) into the pot. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE LID OFF, after a while once I see steam coming out of the top I take it off and enjoy.

@sergewesker

Thank you for the comment. Your way of warming sake is simple and easy. Sometimes, I warm up sake in the way you said especially when sake is left half or less in a 720-ml bottle. A whole bottle of sake is too much for me.

I actually bought an electric pot so i can heat up my sake this way, very convenient.

[Ichiro0402Nakano]

@sum420body

Oh, you bought an electric pot? That's very nice!
