My friend has just passed his gsce Japanese and I would like to buy him a sake to celebrate.

Trouble is I know nothing about sake-anyone able to recommend one that's easy enough to find in the uk?

Carbonate it in a soda-stream. Makes it awesome, works with cheap wine too.

Dassai 50 is my personal favorite. I see they sell it from Amazon now:

Sake's crap. Get him some Kirin ichiban instead.

It's why I keep coming back to the forum - because it's populated by people with the same childish sense of humour as me. ๐Ÿ™‚

As above, my preferred sake is "for f*cks". I can highly recommend it

My suggestion to carbonate sake was serious, it really does make it taste awesome.

Japanese malt whiskeys are often really nice, nikka etc.
