I'm solitary. I'm free. I'm a king of myself -- 18c-19c German Philosopher I. Kant
While I was strollin over the shell of liqure in a supermarket, I came across the word of famous philosopher in a label of Japanese sake.
Just once I had had sake when I was 22 at the school festival then. That was first and the last time I had sake, but I still remember the taste.
Unlike the cases of other philosophers, I was not enthusiastic to read his books. He wrote his famous three critics -Critics of Pure Reason, Practical Reason, Judgement. I had only browsed the last one -Critics of Judgement one time. Unlike the expectations I had, I remember the contents of its writings was a full of energetic emotions. Prejudices always are prior to the judgement. Though I don't recommend you reading his writings. They seemd a full of energy, but complexity, inconsistency at the same time.
I'm not having sake but Shochu now, I'm solitary, I'm free, I'm a king of myself, but I've got hundreds of friends inside the screen. Certainly I am happier than Kant.

I have had it a few times, though I'm sure it's probably not as good as what you would have there. I'm not a big fan, but wanted to try it from different places (it just tastes like tangy Vodka to me). I assume that - like any alcoholic drink, there is 'good' and 'bad'. I've never stumbled onto the good, and I'm becoming convinced that I won't find it - at least not in the MidWest.
If you've only had it once, you must not be a big fan of it either, so maybe ... I just don't like Sake at all.

Speaking of Sake, there are two that I know of... One is the Japanese Rice drink that we speak of, but there is also Nigiri Sake (Salmon). Question, are the two pronounced the same? SAH-keh, or does the Nigiri sound different?

Now I'm having Evan Williams, thought to be the oldest Bourbon since 1783. Sake in nigiri sake & rice liquor sake pronounce the same but where to put stress differs. SAke in nigiriSAke is as Ugly and rice liquor saKE is as agrEE. For some people sake in nigirisake is pronounced as SHA-keh. I like SHake -Atlantic salmon or Chilean trout salmon is eaten in raw and it's delicious, I like that. Japanese version of SHake is not suitable to eat in raw -which doesn't contain enough oil to keep its tissues and easy to be decomposed, and soon to be rotten, we usually eat Japanese SHake in grilled.
As to rice liquor saKE, it's a fermented one not a spirit, so like cheese or natto, it is liable to be rotten soon if it's left in a room, and we are 100 times sure to have hangover if we had plenty. More and more people prefer having shochu- Japanese vodka rather than saKE.

A night with either is regretted in the morning: sake because you have too much fun, Kant because you don't have any.

Sake& Kant have the similar effect, if taken too much, we would have hangover &perplexities.
