My friends and recent newlyweds Chris and Kate Miller just spent their honeymoon in Japan. I met up with them last week and they gave me this incredible looking hand painted clay container of sake as a gift. The sake has a dry flavor with a bit of a bit to it. I have been enjoying it at room temperature, and cold. Its color has just the slightest amber tint to it. I was told that the sake process has not changed for many generations at this family run place. Although the sake is incredibly tasty, my favorite part by far is this clay container. I will be refilling this for a long time! When I removed the cup from the top, there was a cork.
