How you should drink Japanese Laurel Crown Sake

1. Familiarize yourself with sake utensils. Sake is usually served in a thin-necked ceramic bottle called a tokkuri, which has a bulbous body. There are also other types of sake bottles, such as the "katakuchi" bottle, which looks like a teapot.

2. Warm sake. There are different types of sake, honjo-shu and shunmai-shu, which are generally good to drink at room temperature, and ginjo-shu and namazake, which should be chilled. When warming the sake, do not let it get warmer than room temperature, unless it is some poor quality sake. When warming sake, use the method of heating it under water, not directly in the microwave.

3. Pouring. Hold the sake bottle with two hands, palms facing down; if the bottle is slippery, wrap a napkin around it. If you're the host, pour the sake for your guests one by one first, but don't pour it for yourself; the host's glass is usually poured by the guest.

4. Hold the glass. When someone pours you a glass of wine, hold the bottom of the glass with the palm of your right hand and gently hold the glass with your left hand. If the person pouring you a drink is of a lower position or seniority than you, you only need to hold the glass with one hand.

5. Cheers. If you're at a Japanese restaurant, you can say "Kanpai" (Japanese for "cheers") and clink glasses with your guests. If you're toasting to a leader or elder, make sure your glass is lower than the other person's when you clink.

6. Drinking. Sake's alcohol content is usually not very high, between 15-18 degrees, and you can drink it as if it were white wine. If you're drinking with leaders or elders, don't face them squarely when you drink it; turn slightly sideways to avoid them. If the other person is of very high status, you can still turn around and drink it again.
