This New Year's Eve, Drink Sake
Briefly

"With an alcohol content that can range from 14 to 18 percent, there's an impulse to compare sake to wine, but there are many particularities that don't translate directly."
"I set her up with a bottle of Kirinzan junmai daiginjo, in faceted sky-blue glass, and found myself convinced that I need to start partaking in the same tradition."
"I don't like bubbles, but I still want to toast with something special at midnight," adding that sake seemed appropriately auspicious, in addition to looking beautiful on a table.
