How can I make Sake taste good?

Question

I bought a bottle of "Gekkeikan" brand "Sake" and I've never had Sake.

I tried it by itself, mixed it with orange juice and both times it didn't taste good.

How do you make this stuff taste good?

Answer 1

you don't lol just chug it as fast as you can

Answer 2

Drink it hot.  Cheap sake is almost always drunk hot, because it doesn't taste very good cold.  Pour it into a medium-sized pot, put it on the stove until small bubbles start to move around rapidly and the steam gets heavy.  

One of the problems with sake-drinking as a hobby is that there's such a high demand for top-quality stuff that a bottle of even moderately-good sake will cost you about $25-$30.

Answer 3

As any type of wine there are dry wines and sweeter wines. You want a sweeter version that will taste better to ya. Gekkeikan is a drier one so stay away from that one for sure. Ask a store clerk for a sweeter sake next time you get sake. Or visit a restaurant that serves sake and ask the wait person and tell them what you had and did not like it......
