Sake poll!

[Metalhead]

I don’t drink sake anymore, but I had fun with it when I had it in the past.

Finally, a food or beverage that we don’t agree on! Lol

I’m unfortunately not a sake fan. I’m not a big fan of alcohol to begin with but I was a bit surprised by the taste of sake.

I tend to prefer cocktails and dessert drinks though so that’s probably not a surprise.

Although I am a big fan of rice, I will never drink alcohol/wine so I will take the rice by itself.

My poll response "Other." On a project in North Borneo I was working with a Japanese crew. They HAD to have their alcohol. They brought a keg of Sapporo, pretty good beer. On the other hand, the housekeeper they hired took all the daily leftover rice and put it in a vat under the counter to let it bubble and fester. After a week or so, she would pour it into bottles and cork it with a rolled up leaf. It would be served as rice wine for dinner. You had to grit your teeth while drinking it to strain out all the clumps of rice. I'm not sure if it was fermented so much as rotted, but it was ...... potent They would frequently drink a couple bottles and sometimes not even make it to bed. A few mornings I found them passed out on the floor between the dining room and the bedrooms.

I don't drink anything alcoholic anymore.
I liked Sake, the expensive kind, when I was younger.

I like it, although it is too expensive here.

I never drank it, I guess i'm uncultured. I also dont know many foreign foods, or drinks. I try to stay way from alcohol, it tends to make you act a fool. And... I don't need any help with that. lol

Same here, this is one of the reasons I don't like being drunk lol

Tried it once at my first job when we were bought out by a Japanese company. It tasted nasty. Mind you, I never took to most alcoholic drinks.

If I'm being honest, I think alcoholic drinks (that aren't sugar laden) - taste unmistakeably like the poison they are.

Sake? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..

Give me a good Irish whiskey, tequila, single-malt scotch or Tennessee sour mash whiskey. Though I also enjoy Japan's Suntory Whisky "Toki". Very smooth....like Jamesons.

Despite living in relative isolation, I still consider myself a "social drinker". So while I like a little taste now and then, that's usually as far it goes these days. Oh well...

 

[Rodafina]

For the sake of sobriety, no sake here! It’s not the best choice for drunks. Seems more of a sipping in moderation type of thing.

 

[Loren]

Oh gosh. I was excited for a second, as I initially read the title as 'Shake Poll'. Ha

 

[The Pandector]

I enjoy a shot or two of warm sake, then I’m done. It doesn’t pair with anything but a headache, and I’m not a fan of tipsy. If I wanted to get stupid on rice, I’d go with makgeolli and chew some dried squid.
