The great debate: Warm vs. Chilled? Yes, it’s true, originally saké was served warm to mask its rough edges and poor quality, but today’s modern brewing techniques have rendered that scenario moot. Warming saké actually makes it drier, which helps with food matches and of course, speeds the alcohol to your body. If that’s your game.
