Enjoy Sake on the Rocks – A Cool and Refreshing Way to Try Japanese Sake
Sake on the rocks is a modern and refreshing way to enjoy Japanese sake, especially during the summer. Instead of drinking it straight from the fridge, you simply pour chilled sake over a few ice cubes in a rock glass. As the ice slowly melts, it softens the alcohol and enhances the natural sweetness of the sake.
This method is perfect for beginners who may find traditional sake a bit strong or dry. Fruity and aromatic types like ginjo or sparkling sake work especially well with this style.
🍶 Quick Tips:
- Use a rock glass or whiskey tumbler for better aroma.
- Start with 2–3 ice cubes, don’t overdo it.
- Try adding a thin slice of lemon peel for a refreshing aroma.
