Best ways to store and enjoy sake
Please enjoy sake with an appropriate amount of food over time, rather than chugging down sake at once. The appropriate amount of sake that prevents stress to the liver is one to two cups. Please keep this guideline in mind and do not drink alcohol one to two days a week to rest the liver.
Please do not consume sake with medication, during pregnancy, or during the weaning period.
Also, please do not take a hot bath or engage in heavy exercise after sake consumption, nor pressure others to consume sake.
The Japanese have a limited ability to breakdown alcohol, while Northern European nationals in Finland and Sweden tend to be highly tolerant of alcohol. Although there is an individual difference, two cups of sake is typically broken down between six to seven hours.
Sake does not cause obesity. The calorie content of sake is 185 kcal per 100 ml. Obesity from sake consumption is caused by snacks enjoyed with sake, not sake itself. Also, while alcohol typically cools the body, this is not the case with sake (according to Health and Medicine of Alcohol Association).

適切な保存方法と飲み方
日本酒を楽しく飲むためには、食べながら、適量をゆっくり飲むように心掛けて一気飲みなどははしないこと。肝臓に負担をかけないお酒の適量は、日本酒で1～2合。これを守ったうえで、週に1～2日の休肝日を作るのが望ましいとされている。
薬と一緒に飲むのはNGで妊娠中、離乳期の飲酒も避ける。
飲酒後の入浴や過激な運動もしてはならないし他人への無理強いもダメ。
日本人はアルコールを分解する機能が弱いがフィンランド、スエーデンなど、北欧の国は強い傾向がある。お酒２合は消化に個人差はあるが、お酒2合の分解には6～7時間かかる。
日本酒を飲んでも太らない。日本酒のカロリーは100 mlで185 kcalで太るのはお酒と一緒に食べるおつまみが原因。また、アルコール体を冷やすが、日本酒は違う。（アルコール健康医学協会）
