Chilled sake generates a refreshing flavor, while the aroma of sake is enhanced in heated sake. 

The palate detects the flavor, while the root savors the lingering aftertaste. 

The choice of sake cup can also influence the flavor. 

Sake is typically served in a choco sake cup, masu (wooden, square-shaped box), kikichoko (ceramic cup with a snake-eye pattern on the interior), guinomi (ceramic), Kiriko glass, and wine or flute glasses.   

  

Why sake may not pair well with some foods 


Sake may not pair well with some foods if the pairing produces an unpleasant odor, or if the aroma or flavor is too strong. 

Sake is also used as a condiment to prepare various dishes such as sake hot pots and sake steamed dishes, while sake lees is used as a marinade for fish, to pickle vegetables (Narazuke), etc. Various regional dishes throughout Japan use sake.
