sake

We've got a Sake dinner coming up on the 8th of February. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about it. Mary, a wine rep, really helped us get started on learning, then a stop at Samba Sushi in NY let us experiment with some mixed Sake drinks and tastings with food.
Then Ben told me about www.esake.com , it's awesome! There is so much to read and learn about Sake. Tasting notes on the basic 5 grades of sake, food pairings, how it's made, etc.
I recommend to anyone that loves the warm sake you normally get at American sushi places to expand into what higher grade sakes really are.
