SAKE ON AIR is an exploration into the stories, people, lifestyle, and what’s really happening in the world of SAKE and SHOCHU. The show is brought to you by a team of experts based here in the Sake Homeland of Japan, working and thriving on the front lines of the industry. Together with local and international guests from a range of fields, both sake-specific and sake-curious, each week we’ll be going beyond just, “What is sake?” and instead, exploring the excitement, challenges, depth, and possibilities in, what we think, is arguably the world’s most fascinating and enjoyable pair of beverages.

As our Sake 101 miniseries continues, we’re diving into one of the most debated topics in the world of sake: hot vs. cold sake!
Beyond just personal preference, the temperature at which sake is served can completely transform its flavor, aroma, and overall experience. But with so much conflicting information out there, it’s easy to get confused and then there is the old myth that only bad sake is served hot—is there any truth to that?
Join our hosts for this episode Cindy Bissig and Chris Hughes as they break it all down, exploring why some sakes are meant to be served warm while others are best enjoyed chilled.
So whether you’re a fan of warm sake on a chilly evening or love sipping a crisp, cold glass in the summer, understanding the role of temperature can take your sake appreciation to the next level.
If you have a favorite way to enjoy warm or cold sake, we’d love to hear about it and if you have questions or comments share them with us at questions@sakeonair.com or head over to our Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook we would love to hear from you!
We’ll be back very soon with plenty more Sake On Air.
Until then, kampai!
