Nigori is probably more accessible to non-sake drinkers since its sweet.

Interesting. You find it sweet? I dislike nigori because of the chalky after taste. Reminds of water you wash rice in.

While techinically sake, I guess, not a lot of people enjoy a big gulp of Il dong.

I don't know many people who enjoy gulping dong period!

I have to disagree with the OP; sake definitely has complexity. Enjoying sake can be compared to enjoying wine. If you don't like it that is fine but don't write it off. However I am sure there are a lot of Waponese out there. Although I am sure their intentions are good, I'd be pretty annoyed if everytime I went out with some Japanese people they prepared Vienna beef redhots and Old Style just because I'm Chicago. Although after 7 years here I could go for a Vienna beef dog right about now. As far as Old Style goes there is no excuse for drinking that outside of Wrigley Field.
