I need booze

I have a question....how long does Saki keep? Was given a Saki set if you will a number of years back, it contains two bottles of Saki and two glasses / cups in a very nice wooden box presentation. There is absolutely no English language on the pkg. so I know nothing about it. The bottles seem to be almost like stoneware....one red in color the other white. The whole box then slips into a brown snap down carrying case. Anyone familiar with this???

Not familiar with your set but sake is best drunk as soon as possible. AFAIK, there's no benefit in aging it. I'm pretty sure it's drinkable but probably lost a lot of the flavors.

Conan, thanks for the reply on this. After mentioning it I went and dug it out and had forgotten that we had opened one of the bottles and yes it had slightly dis colored and had a slight vinagry taste to it, the other is still sealed but I suspect will have the same results.....bummer. Had been kept cool and dry and out of sunlight but didn't realize it was best " fresh" 😣

#7 - Ichishima Silk Deluxe Junmai - WOW! Talk about light and smooth! This one is it! No alcohol burn, the new "I could drink this all night" choice. Getting another bottle as soon as I can.

9-momokawa diamond junmai ginjo

of 3 types offered in this line-up, I chose this one because it said medium dry. didn't have my cheater glasses with me but saw that it also said to refrigerate before serving, mellow, smooth, apple, melon, tropical fruits. Ginjo quality-pure sake made with each rice grain polished to at least 60%.

What I didn't see was that it is produced and bottled by Momokawa...Forest Grove, Oregon! Round eye outrage!

Oh well. Clear, light and smooth. Subtle sweetness, I caught a little melon in the finish, but apple and tropical fruits...not so much for this noob . I'd drink it with or after spicy food. Tonight it went with a RyJ C en C.

14.8% ABV, around $15.

but I really have no idea if it is a good one, though for the $$$ I actually would snag a bottle again, though I'd really prefer to experiment some more.

I think like anything in which personal taste comes into play, you'll know it when you taste it and you go "that's good chit." Sticking to the junmai daiginjo grade should increase your chances.

12- Pure Dusk Shimizu-No-Mai Junmai Daiginjo

300 ML bottle for about $16...and I like this, chilled. Label blurb says fragrant bouquet, (to me it is mildly like a wet dog but not offensive), supposed to complement delicate foods like sashimi. Seems to be just fine with turkey tips and grilled cauliflower.
