I have no idea if the Tencho-san at Odaidokoro decided to serve sake in wine glasses or if he got the idea from somewhere else. Anyways, it was a brew (I read somewhere that sake is technically a beer and not a wine) and it went down well with the appetizer (which is referred to as "o-toshi") which came with my meal. I didn't order that much that night. Just this sake, kara-age octopus and deep fried Camembert cheese balls.
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.

Technically, that’s correct. Sake is brewed; however, sommeliers are treating it like wine and sake—or Nihonshu—is taking its place and winning prizes among wines. In the finest establishments internationally it is being paired with all manner of cuisine, not just Japanese food. Kateigaho Magazine (International Edition) had a feature edition (Sake at the Summit) in Volume 26. It includes a detailed map and discussion of the Niigata area sake makers. Almost next door, Derrick; almost next door…
