Ozeki Dry Sake

Sake quality varies widely, and Ozeki makes some excellent brews in Japan. This is the dry version of their California-made restaurant quality sake. If I was ranking it against other premium sakes I've had, it would get 2-3 stars, but for a basic dinner sake it's fine. I'd put it above the standard Sho Chiku Bai "classic" and extra dry, and definitely above the Gekkeikan "Traditional". All are junmai-shu (all-rice), not ginjo (augmented by other alcohol, often corn-based).

If you want to warm it, keep it a few degrees cooler than a regular, full-bodied sake.

Sake. What can I say? Most people see it in movies, or read about it in books, wish they could try some, and never do. Just as well! Imagine a camel urninated in a bottle, added a splash of vodka, a tad of year old cider, and a quarter-glass of 7 year old, tasteless white wine, and you come close to the foulness of Ozuki Dry Sake.

I can, however, give some positive notes... somehow...

For a start, it's relatively cheap compared to many other alchoholic drinks in the wines bracket. Secondly, it comes in an attractive bottle. Finally, it's actually an aquirable taste! After a while, it's kinda refreshing! serve either at room temperature or chilled, NEVER SERVE WARMED as recommended on the bottle. It can be an OK drink for a few glasses! Don't drink too many though, or you may find yourself feeling slightly ill! It doesn't tend to make you very drunk, though. I find you feel ill faster when drinking Sake chilled!

Overall, this is an enjoyable drink for some, and it isn't all that bad after a while... money wise, it's a budget drink. Maybe this could work added to a fruit punch at a party...

Conclusion: Camel Urine = Drinkable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
