What does Sake the alcoholic drink taste like? what is it actually?

Question

I'm a teenager asking this because I was thinking Sake will be my first alcoholic drink when I turn 21.

Answer 1

kinda tastes like hot stale beer... with a sweat sock in it. Stay away!

Answer 2

It has a bitter taste to it that makes normal people cough mildly.  If you dont drink sake warm, then your missing out - it's made from old rice, like wine is made from old grapes.

Answer 3

It's wine made from rice instead of grapes. It's not bad, not personally my favorite thing, but pretty good to me it's mostly like any other wine but slightly more bitter.

Answer 4

you're going to wait until you turn 21 before you even taste alcohol?? suit yourself.

sake is really salty and will burn on the way down like any other spirit. if that's your first alcoholic drink, you'll probably never want to drink again.

Answer 5

It's a wine made from rice. It tastes like wine but has a kick like bourbon. Traditionally, it's heated before you drink it and you might find yourself drunk before you know it.
