I'm Japanese, but didn't like cold Japanese sake. It was too sweet for me😱. But the extreme heat wave this summer and these cute and unique labels have changed me, giving me the ability to appreciate the taste of rice fermented alcohol!!

Japanese sake is usually sold in a bottle of 1 "shou" or 1.8 liters, or 4 "gou" or 720 mililiters, but these "cup sake" bottles only contain 180ml each, which is nice for an aperitif😆. I also found another good thing about Japanese sake. Having sake reduces my alcohol consumption - finishing a sake bottle of 4 gou or 720ml, about the same size as a wine bottle, takes a week as opposed to three or four days for a bottle of wine. And I realized why. Using "ochoko" or special cups or glasses for sake, much smaller than wine glasses, like these blue ones below slows down my pace of drinking, satisfying me with a smaller amount...

So, here is a tip to reduce your alcohol consumption. Drink any alcohol, not only sake, but beer and wine, from "ochoko"😁!

です。冷酒だと飲む量が減ります。なぜだ。。。 分かりました! 冷酒ってお猪口で飲むでしょ。だから少し飲むだけで満足するんです。そこでお酒の量を減らしたい方に一言! ビールもワインもお猪口で飲みましょう😁
