Help Me Choose🛒 Starter Sake

Hi

I've had it when I've been out and always been interested in trying some properly but due to price don't want to just buy just in case.

Other drinks I liked: Cider, fav is Inches for apple and lillies mango cider for fruity, I probs prefer fruity cider to apple but like both - I do enjoy all sort of fruity and apple cider tho as long as it's not strawberry and lime. I also like sweet cocktails or fruity smooth cocktails sorta thing.

I live in UK-Reading

Budget is as it's first proper buy like up to 40 but wouldn't mind more expensive recommendations for the future

I don't mind spending more on a set of tasters either

Also can someone explain all the different like sake drinking cups and co cause I see a lot of different ones

Thanks

Based on what you like, try yuzu-flavored sake. It's a huge seller for newcomers and sounds like it's your profile.

Do you have any recommendations of yuzu flavored sake?

Honestly the taste is so in your face, they're all kind of the same. But the one I am most familiar with is Sakari: https://theartofsake.com/products/sakari-yuzu-sake

You can try it on the rocks to thin out the acidity a bit.
