Fat Friday: Saké and our saké set

In English, we refer to Japanese alcohol rice beverages as saké. In Japanese, saké is just the term for alcoholic beverages in general, and this drink is called Nihonshu, which means Japanese saké. We also tend to call it “rice wine”, but the processing method makes it more like a brewed beer than wine. Confused yet?
Whatever you call it, DH returned from Japan last month (lucky ducky!) with a lovely bottle in tow. So we got to break out our little saké set with the adorable puffer fish and put it to some good use.
Shhhh…don’t tell anyone, but we got our set at DisneyWorld! How hokey is that? Do you have a saké set that you’re particularly fond of?
