Sake bottles

Sake bottles are a type of jug designed specifically for serving this Japanese drink. They are considered an obligatory part of the culture of drinking rice vodka, so restaurants and cafes of Japanese cuisine must have such utensils.

Vodka made from rice is usually served warm. Therefore, it is never bottled from glass bottles; the drink is usually served in a special jug, which, if necessary, can be heated a little along with the contents. In Japan it is called tokkuri, the standard capacity is 180 ml. But modern bottles come in different versions.

Types of sake bottles

Modern sake bottles come in a variety of options. They may vary slightly in shape and capacity:

• jugs of a classic shape - laconic, straight with edges flaring upward;
• original bottles - do not have a completely standard shape; curved lines and ornate shapes are possible.

The design of the feast depends on the choice of product, which is why many restaurants and cafes of Japanese cuisine prefer to surprise customers with non-standard solutions.

Features when choosing

It is customary to drink sake from special containers, so all connoisseurs of this drink must have special bottles in their everyday life. Nowadays, stores offer a range of options, so when choosing, it is important to pay attention to a number of nuances.

First of all, the material is evaluated. Porcelain is considered preferable, but ceramic products also look stylish, make it possible to heat a drink and at the same time have a favorable price.

The volume is also assessed, but in any case it should not be too large; sake is served in small portions.

When choosing products online, pay attention to special sets that include bottles and bowls. This is a great option for entertaining guests and a wonderful gift for those who love Japanese-style feasts.
