sushi and sake
If you are a sushi lover, I suggest you check out the new Sushi FAQ
website, with information about sushi, sashimi and related Japanese food. With information about sushi ranging from beginner to expert, recipes, and even calories and nutritional information the Sushi FAQ has it all! Sake is an integral part of the sushi experience, so come read all about sake in our 'sushi profiles' section, you may be surprised at the variety in this wonderful rice wine. http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-sashim...hi-items-sake/ <a href="http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-sashimi-info/sushi-item-profiles/sushi-items-sake/">sake</a> |

Two points: 1. Although I personally like sake with sushi, most Japanese consider it be very inappropriate. It's having rice with rice. So have it with sushi if you like to, but realize that it's certainly *not* "an integral part of the sushi experience." The standard drinks with sushi are beer (carbonated beer) and tea. 2. Sake is not a "rice wine." Wine is made from grapes, and by extension, from other fruits. Because Sake is made from a grain, rather than a fruit, it's a *beer* (albeit an uncarbonated one), rather than a wine. -- Ken Blake |
