For $15, I got to try 3 different kinds of sake. Since I didn't know ANYthing about sake, I thought this would be a nice introduction. I had one sweet sake (nice); one dry sake (also nice); and one hot sake (blech). You're right: it is crap. But I drank it anyway, cuz it was a $5 shot. My impression is that sake is not for everyone, especially if Miller Lite is your favorite beer. However, I enjoyed trying something different, and I would like to try more. I don't know if we have sake guides in south Florida, but I think I might look into it.
