Sake for winter days

Recently, I try to reduce drinking coffee. I want to wake up in the morning, go to work happily without a cup of coffee. Drinking too much coffee sometimes let me feel TIRED! ~~~~~

Ok, so I have a new hobby (hope not become habit as it was with coffee): sake: a traditional drink from Japan. It makes my mind clear before and after every final exam ^-^ .

My husband does not allow me drink any sake with alcohol in ingredient. The pure sake does not include it as a material to make sake but only rice and yeast rice. The problem is the good sake is imported from Japan without English description.!!!!! 

After several purchasing, we figured out that buying sake from Wholefood is the cheapest, even compare with Japanese supermarket around Irvine. The difference in price for each bottle (300 ml) is about $4.

Wholefood (in Tustin, next to Costo) also has a large range of GOOD sake, they keep it cold!
 The flavor sake


These are what we tried.
- Prepare a big tea pot (you can use a big bowl)
- Use medium hot tape water
- Put the whole bottle into water for 10 minutes, the water will warm up the sake. Warm sake is better for a cold night!
- Then drink haha

You can drink a bit before you put the sake into warm water, and pour the sake out every 5 minutes, you can enjoy all range of sake's flavor, from dry to sweet, cold to warm.

Each of these bottle is about $10.5







pS: don't drink when you are pregnant and under 21 year old, or when you are using medicine.
