Sake Revolution

Sake Vessel Series: Sakazuki


Listen Later

Episode 97. Week in and week out, our standard gear for tasting and evaluating sake is a simple wine glass.  This works really well and almost everybody has one nearby.  But in Japan, there are a wide variety of shapes, materials and sizes used to make cups for drinking sake.  That got us wondering if we should take some other cups out for a test drive and compare them to our usual stemware.  Let's start by taking a look at one of the most traditional sake cups there is - the ceremonial Sakazuki.  This wide and shallow saucer-like cup is footed and often holds just a sip or two of sake.  They can be made of ceramic, metal, lacquered wood and even glass.  Most commonly seen at a Japanese shinto wedding ceremony, these cups scream tradition - but how do they stack up to our wine glass in terms enjoying taste and aroma?  Listen in to the first in a series of sake vessel smackdowns!   #sakerevolution
