Sake Highball (With Soda)

Sake Highball (With Soda)

This style involves mixing sake with sparkling water, similar to a spirit sour or highball. Its crisp, invigorating mouthfeel makes it perfect for hot summer days. Squeezing in fresh lemon, grapefruit, or lime adds an extra splash of refreshing flavor.

It also softens any distinct sake aromas, making it a great option for those who are new to drinking sake.

On the Rocks

If you want to quench your thirst while still fully enjoying the rich aromas and flavors of sake, serving it on the rocks is highly recommended.

Ice smooths out any strong edges, making it another approachable choice for those less accustomed to sake.

Mizore Sake (Frozen Slush)

By supercooling sake and pouring it quickly into a chilled glass or ochoko cup, it instantly transforms into a fine, sherbet-like slush.

Simply place a pre-chilled bottle of sake into the freezer for about 90 minutes. Because it isn’t diluted with ice, it’s a favorite choice for seasoned sake enthusiasts.
