Japanese SAKE Guide and How to Pair Sake with FOOD

[@miriammanolov9135]

Perfect video !! I went to the Japanese store near my city, and just stood in front of the sake section for a good minute hoping no one will ask me of I need help since I has no idea what to ask for and did not want to waste their time !!! Glad you made this video !! Thank you !!

[@TabiEats]

We hope you find a sake you like!

[@deanzaZZR]

Wading into the world of sake can be intimidating given the variety and the potential language barrier. That's why a website like Tippsy is helpful to learn about sake even if you don't buy from them (although I recommend you do). Another useful website to learn about sake is Urban Sake. The creator of that website also does a podcast called Sake Revolution.

[@miriammanolov9135]

@@deanzaZZR thank you!! I went today to the Japanese market and they did not have the specific ones they had in this video, but got 3 different types close enough to the ones mentioned. So, will checkout your recommendation. Thank you 😊

[@PREPFORIT]

You are correct IMO Smooth more mild cheeses pair well with Sake. Sharper-aged cheeses pair well with red wine.

[@Scriptor13]

This video was really fun and informative. The two of you were so enthusiastic and obviously enjoying each variety of sake and the food pairings. You could be international ambassadors for sake.😃

[@TabiEats]

It would be our pleasures to be ambassadors for sake. :)

[@yasojayawardhana2066]

......and just like that you both became the (unofficial) spokesperson for Japanese Sake...I am literally running to get this subscription. Looking forward to pairing up these with your recommended choices, especially the maple syrup..thanks!!!!!

[@TabiEats]

Please let us know which ones you enjoyed !!!

[@heybabyheybaby101]

Omg you two are so cute towards the end, getting a little tipsy hehe

[@TabiEats]

I guess you could tell :)

[@SnakeladyGreta]

@@TabiEats Very much so! 😁 I love it! ❤️

[@dennistani1986]

Thanks guys for this nice video! This is a great way to experience sake. I like how each sake comes with information on the sake, the best way to enjoy it, and where it's from. This really helps to inform folks on what they are drinking, I think it enhances the experience. Thanks again guys!!

[@moleshaman3040]

Great video idea , I rarely drink sake and feel like I don't know how to drink it or what to drink it with. Glad to learn a bit more about it :). And it's always a pleasure to watch the two of you !

[@SherioCheers]

OO nice! I've always wanted to broaden my horizon where Sake is concerned. I have a nearby liquor store that has a great selection but I don't know where to start!

[@jackritter326]

I love sake, and sour cream & onion chips! Will be trying soon! Love your videos! Stay safe

[@PamelaProPeace]

This was absolutely fascinating. Informative and as always, fun! I have three different sakes which one day I tried together - like a wine tasting. I could taste differences but I didn't think to have them with food! Now I am going to have such fun retrying them out with all the different foods. I can't wait to try the french toast with maple syrup combination! And cheese and onion crisps??? Wow! (And now I realise I should have tried different temperatures as well.) I wonder if this will change which sake I like best! p.s. I hardly ever drink so I have a low tolerance for alcohol. I hope I don't finish up under the table! 🥴 I've never had a hangover in my life. Is this going to be the day??? 😃

[@TabiEats]

Have fun with it. We certainly did and it changed my view on Sake completely

[@lunarebeccaada4191]

As a total newbie to sake,this was highly interesting to me 🍶😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@strangulator42]

I have a friend who is from Niigata Prefecture who said they were so famous for sake that he couldn't stand the taste of it by the time he was 16 lol! I love sake, but I've never had the chance to try a really amazingly good one... hopefully I can try some of these!

[@alannasarafat9938]

I love daiginjo 😍😍😍 expensive, but worth it. The aroma is so lovely especially when served as hot sake. And with stewed fish head as side dishes.

[@LisaMarli]

I like my wine sweet, so of course I like my sake that way too. We have several good sake breweries here in California and we get some good Japanese sake too. It's a pleasant change from wine and beer.

[@AraAra-zc2eb]

Me a Canadian hearing the words "maple syrup" : "You had my interest, but now you have my attention."

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

We had 1.8 litre Bottle of cold cheap sake with our hotpot dinner..pairs well with beef , pork & seafood.

[@TheScratchingKiwi]

Daiginjo FTW! Goes with everything, mixes well. Daiginjo's the best, forget the rest.

[@エミールゾラ]

沢山美味しいそうなお酒ばかりでお酒飲みにとってたまらないでしょうねぇ 二人の説明が上手だから… 余り飲めない私にとっても飲みたいです！

[@emmmmmmm614]

My fave! Tabieats and sake!

[@southerncaltattooedbiker3643]

Shinichi is getting tipsy and Satoshi is doing okay maybe not they're both drunk 😂😂😂

[@miriammanolov9135]

OMG... yes 😂 3/4 of the video in and he was about to tap out !!! Love it

[@Jesuscares7680]

🥺🥺🥺

[@SarahhJean]

LOL!! Was legit gonna say the same thing 😆😆😆

[@Hierro330]

Really love the box! I wanted to learn more about sake so this is awesome! Thank you for sharing

[@TabiEats]

We really enjoyed learning about Sake with tippsy.

[@angemaidment5640]

I haven’t had sake for years, but I love it warm.

[@ruthjensen415]

It’s fun watching you two drink (Like when you were bar hopping in Hiroshima). We can tell when Shinichi is starting to get tipsy... his eye’s glass over, and he can’t stop smiling 😂😜.

[@shannondore]

I've been scared to buy sake cause I had a glass at a restaurant once and didn't like it. But now I know I just had the wrong kind and now I know what to look for. Thanks guys! This was a really good video.🍶😊

[@TabiEats]

I was the same. I haven’t had sake in decades because I didn’t like the one I had back then. I now love sake!

[@deanzaZZR]

Most of our early experiences with sake are with the super cheap stuff often brewed in the USA (for us Americans). Tippsy only sells premium grade sake. As in many things in Japan, if you pay more you receive higher quality.

[@pikakerose]

what an exciting video here in hawaii before covid we had some great sake tasting but none for over a year cant wait yes sake n sushi go great together too bad that promotion doesnt ship to hawaii

[@deanzaZZR]

Nice job guys! I order sake from Tippsy. Tippsy has a big catalog to choose from and the bottles are fresh. I am broadening my sake knowledge as well so when my wife and I travel around Japan I can better appreciate delicious, local sakes.

[@kangpae45]

i love love love having a cheese platter with sake! once i order a platter of 5 cheese varieties, i drank 2x 720ml bottles of sake hahahaah

[@TabiEats]

Woah!

[@therealParisHilton]

The funniest thing about this video was watching you both getting drunk in front of camera, even your mouth was getting heavy 😂🤣😂

[@londonpelen9157]

Hi guy's how you doing good to see you l like to try some sake that you have shown us enjoy ur video thanks stay safe God BLESS to all of u love guy's

[@VanGoWanderlust]

Yes!!! Needed this video for so long!

[@lilenggoh7863]

Didn’t know that I’ve been eating cheese and potato chips the wrong way. Love all your sake-related discoveries! 🤣🤣 definitely will try with maple syrup too!

[@ssirin]

I used to prefer Umeshu to Sake, but now I don't enjoy sweet flavored-anything too much, Sake has become my new favorite!

[@NamaJapan]

I have basically given up trying my way through the variety of sake without recommendations and introductions. When I have to buy it on a whim, I just go with Hakkaisan and never go wrong. Their limited stuff has also been great.

[@astroboy3507]

👌🏻

[@LunarWind23]

I'm pretty sure I've had the Snow Maiden sake before. It's been a while, but I remember it being fairly tasty.

[@jimmyg7100]

If you guys ever make it to north, New England in the States. Try out Maple Wine. It goes really well with smoked sharp cheddar cheese.

[@shannondore]

I'm giving you a like cause you just told me maple wine exists and now I must find it. That sounds amazing. Thank you!😊

[@katel7857]

My husband and I love Sake and I'd love to try more varieties. So sad Tippsy don't ship to Uk 😢 Great vid though guys

[@biteofdog]

Nice. I have seen most of those Sake bottles in the food stores here in Seattle. The Whale one is a bit pricey. I have had Tazai Sake a few times. I do like that most of the Sake is in cup size or small bottles to try.

[@pbyguy7059]

I did some experiments and Satoshi is right, sour cream and onion chips ARE sake’s best friend.

[@TabiEats]

Glad you think so too

[@debrab.2888]

Thanks for the video and recommendations 😀. I love how you interact❤

[@garydell2023]

interesting. I like it warm. Thank you.

[@hirokinoda2852]

😂😂😂 I love the chemical response. I’m going to have to use that. Thanks!

[@crazedanisa]

I HATE the snow maiden one.. it is too sweet for my taste.. I do agree the bottle is very beautiful.. ((thats why I bought it😅))

[@jonwashburn7999]

Wonderful! Thanks guys.

[@athena4gd]

Chemical Reaction - it’s the phrase of the day!

[@astroboy3507]

Great vid guys I enjoy a sake!!!!!🍶👍🏻

[@SarahhJean]

Adding sake and sour cream and onion potato chips to my grocery list now 😆

[@TheShoukhin]

This video was needed. I never understand which one should I match with what.

[@plejade4125]

They have so cute and delicious looking Nigori Sake ooh I wanted to order but it's only US I know now XD I should have watched it until the end instead of rushing to the shop because I see you so ecxited haha XD great box very interesting. I love some Otsumami while drinking. Thank you so much for sharing, you were sooo cute at the end, loosing it a liite XD I do understand that feeling very well, what a nice taste test ending to see you giggeling around. As alway a joy to watch. Thank you ^^/

[@Blitzkrieg1976]

I love you both so much!!❤

[@GreatBlueDragon2008]

You boys need to come to the US and I will make you some proper french toast

[@housekat6163]

Hmmmm What might be good is making a glaze for the cheesecake using cherries and sake.

[@VR-xd6si]

GREAT Video 😊❤

[@ronknoke5400]

Thanks for Video... Very Informative !!!

[@SOIV1000]

this is a great video! Very tutorial! Do they. Tippsysake, ship sakebox to Europe as well?

[@biteofdog]

I know you are not located in the USA but Happy Pride Month!

[@modernpicasso_]

Dassai is my fav

[@cassermck]

I’ve had sake twice, first time it was delicious and sweet, second time was sour and almost undrinkable! I wish I could remember the brand of that first one

[@Foxtrick]

the first time i had sake, it was ok and went well with the meal i was eating. the second time, it was bad. overly sweet and tasted like banana. maybe when i'm cleared to drink, i might see if there is any of these at my local shop...

[@chriswalker4271]

Dark chocolate with sake

[@chriswalker4271]

Thos bottles of sake would look good in my collection

[@singingtoad]

Have you guys ever tried Okinawan Awamori and if so, how does it differ from Sake?

[@restaurantman]

Awamori is more similar to Sōchū, since it is distilled instead of being brewed like Sake. Awamori is also higher in alcohol (typically contains 30-43% ABV), while most Sake is 9-14% ABV.

[@pikakerose]

i think i will get some different sake n make my own sake tasting party with food pairings

[@TabiEats]

Enjoy!

[@banjohead66]

YES YES YES YES 3'30"!

[@MmntechCa]

I like Sake but the only liquor store we have in Ontario, Canada only really carries the cheap stuff at retail. I'll enjoy that stuff warm in the wintertime. Occasionally they will have the little bottles of nigori. While I prefer drier, it's not bad, even though it looks a bit like, uh... They have other varieties available online, but only in extremely limited stock. I guess because there's not a big Japanese population here, and nobody knows what it is. Shame, because like mead, it's grossly underappreciated.

[@biteofdog]

I looked it up on Google and it seems that Toronto has a J-Town mall you can check out (if you are located near there). Also, the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre is located in Toronto. I hope some day you are able to find a decent selection of Sake in your city.

[@Pies_inquietos_tv]

Science in gastronomy (ö) If you say it tastes good, I take it for granted.

[@e_3261]

I tried untill now about 10 diffent Brands of sake from Cheap untill to (for me) Very expensive The most expensive one was about 1万 (about 150buck 1L) it was an experience on his own... Its was complex and its difficult to discribe My favorite one is Fukuyu Blue (I think u would like it too) but its actually out of order here... atm I try this one 菊水 (Kikusui) I dont drink much of it cuz its exensive in a half year i drink about 1 blottle (720ml) I hope u two havnt said the next moring 頭が痛い :D

[@prototypekev1347]

I recently had a bottle or two of Drunken Whale 🐋

[@lynnkihara2323]

Sake with fruits is my favorite, but you have to be careful. The alcohol sneaks up on you.

[@rlsimpso]

Sake is underappreciated. My only complaint is the bottles are usually 720ml rather than 750ml.

[@lihanou]

sake is too expensive outside Japan. I really hope it becomes more popular worldwide and the price drops a bit because it’s my favorite

[@calvinbowen3940]

How about Okinawa sake, Awamori?

[@TabiEats]

That’s something satoshi loves. I on the other hand, haven’t learned to appreciate it yet

[@debrab.2888]

I tried to order the saki that Satoshi had for his birthday, but alcohol can't be shipped to Alabama😩

[@TabiEats]

Aww sorry to hear that. I hope you can find it somewhere to enjoy again

[@abiwii16]

i had some umiboshi sake last mo. pretty good with kfc n pizza. dont recommend smoking weed on top of it tho. even with food.

[@budzen13]

Sadness they don't ship to canada

[@TabiEats]

Yes I do hope they shop to other countries in the future

[@Suede224]

I want to find a sweet Sake thats not to dry here in America!

[@HikaruRain]

I like to cook with it. So I might be committing crimes against sake.......😏

[@shannondore]

I've seen recipes that ask for sake. If you think about it people have cooked with wine for ages so why not Sake too. 😊

[@bobbyhawk8797]

Ohhh sake attack

Sake with cheese cake, interesting

[@pbyguy7059]

I can imagine eating chips with wine

[@penonatsvenonats1885]

Sake have the alcohol on the beverages

[@ipyakuza]

Das sai 23... That is all...

[@deanzaZZR]

For the high rollers. Dassai 39 is the cost/performance leader for me.

[@ipyakuza]

@@deanzaZZR That's a good one too. When I was living in Tokyo we used to go out a lot on business meetings (nomicommunication) and dinners. We drank a lot of Sake but loved Dassai 23. 39 was good too. It got to the point where I was buying the ishobin size bottles to drink with friends and family. In Japan it was around 10,000 yen at the time but in the US it's upwards of $250 USD+. Other than that Hakkaisan Tokubetsu Honjozo was a good daily drinker. Absolutely loved living in Tokyo.

[@Offensive_Username]

Thanks for the biased sponsorship video! Appreciated!

[@lilkitten545]

I wouldn't call it biased :) It's related to Japanese culture and food and goes with their usual videos. I don't think they are pretending to like the sake.
