Sake Drinking Etiquette and Tips
To fully appreciate Japanese sake, understanding some traditional customs enhances the experience. At The Art of Sake, we encourage guests to immerse themselves in these traditions:
-
Kanpai (Cheers!): When toasting, wait for everyone’s cup to be filled, then raise your glass and say “kanpai.”
-
Pouring for Others: In Japanese culture, you never pour your own sake. Always pour for your companion, and allow others to pour for you, using both hands as a sign of respect.
-
Temperature Matters: Some sakes are best enjoyed warm to highlight umami flavors, while others are perfect chilled to emphasize aroma and subtlety.
-
Start Light, Move to Bold: Begin your tasting with lighter, fragrant sakes, and gradually progress to richer, more complex varieties.
By observing these practices, every visit becomes more than a casual drink — it becomes an authentic cultural experience.
