There's a lot of complexity to nihonzake

Actually, the term is "Nihonshu".

I like sake, for the simple reason that it tastes good. I have something of a sweet tooth when it comes to liquor; don't care much for the dry stuff. But even dry sake goes down nice and smooth. Plus, sake is very much a seasonal drink: reishu (cold sake) is great in the hot, humid summer, while atsukan (hot sake) is wonderful for warming you up in the cold winters, with no central heating, and it and a kotatsu are the only things keeping you from hypothermia.

I don't particularly want to be Japanese. However, living in Japan, I appreciate the opportunities I get to drink sake. As Dave Chappelle as Samuel L. Jackson so aptly put it, "It'll get you drunk!!! Mmmm-mmmm, b****!!!"
