Obsessives - Sake

Beau Timken of True Sake is proud to be called a sake samurai. His fanaticism comes across in his enthusiasm for junmai, daiginjo, and ginjo, and he rails against those who encourage libation without education. Take the hint: learn from Beau.

Sake is the comfort food of the alcohols. ;) It's like sitting in front of a warm fireplace on a freezing night, drinking cocoa while being hugged as you pull warm socks on your cold feet. But it's better than that.

I don't like wine, I'm hoping I like sake when I do get to try it.
