I knew going in that I knew next to nothing about sake. As it turned out I didn't even know that much. Never having had so much as one sip of the stuff, the one thing I thought I knew was that you drink it hot. In this week's Food for Thought Seattle Times food writer Nancy Leson sets me straight.
Nance also mentions a good place for would-be sake fanciers to get to know more about the stuff. That place is Sake Nomi. Here's a link to her recent Pacific Northwest Magazine story on sake. Kanpai!
