Perfect sake best in kitchen and dining room

This sake warmer works great. I love hot sake and turn it on 3/4 and it brings the sake to the perfect temperature in 3-4 minutes and keeps it there. The inscriptions are in Japanese, which adds extra chic.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • No power

Treat yourself! - Tea pots and tea makers

It was the best gift of my life! Heat up a few pots of water like you would in a new coffee pot. Then pour some sake and relax, you will experience super pleasure. Ten points for design, usability and customization.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • In general it's fine, but...

Absolutely fantastic sake heater.

Not a hint of English on the teapot, plate, box or brochures. But for you Gaijin like me, it's pretty simple: turn on the plate and use the dial to set the temperature. Another reviewer listed the temperature for each dial position, but none of the settings brought the sake to an unacceptable temperature. The maximum liquid temperature I read was 150 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm trying to keep the dial a little lower to get 130-140.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • No vending machine

Spare Parts? in Kettles & Tea Makers

Let me start by saying that I love this product. Really amazing to put the kettle on and then get some sushi and hot sake to go (hey I'm old fashioned...I like it hot) when I come back. I'm just looking for a replacement pot or someone to tell me it can be used if the inner coating comes off. This is no blow to the product...used just for the sake of it, I've never had a problem. But I've also used it to heat mulled wine (worked great!), and I think it's starting to gnaw at the (teflon?)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Good product but cannot use it for its intended purpose.

So mine has a strange ending I think. When I heat it with sake in a proper bowl, it gets a metallic taste, which is very unpleasant. I have resorted to removing the handle and using it as a hot water/heating kit. I now use it to heat sake in a more "traditional" way by placing the bottle in heated water. It takes longer, but honestly I like it better this way. I don't have to worry about the water getting cold or the open flame. I give 5 stars for use. However, due to the fact that I cannot use

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Too long to wait

I love this sake kettle!

Works great! It takes a while to heat up (about 10 minutes to reach the temperature of a chilled sake bottle), but having it ready is much better than using a carafe and microwave to heat sake. Holds about 2 carafes in a teapot - 300ml I think - and is compact enough to fit on your desk during Zoom's happy hours. Right now I have 2 friends who saw this, loved it and ordered it. You are just as happy as me. I rated it 5 stars for warmth because it really warms up the sake. 3 stars for tasteโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Some flaws

Works well and looks nice!

My partner and I enjoy Japanese culture. Warm sake is a good thing in the colder months. I didn't know when ordering that this sake warmer comes directly from Japan. Shipping took about 4 weeks but it was packaged very well and arrived fully intact (even the box) via USPS. The wait was absolutely worth it. This is a Japanese household product, so all instructions are in Japanese. no english at all. It doesn't matter as there are just a few things you need to know: 1) There is a simple on/offโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Something about it
Cons
  • Small problems

Designed for 100V but will work on 110/120V

Household voltage in Japan is 100V while in USA it is 110-120V which I brought from Japan many years ago, ended up being a seething sake attitude nonetheless. The current sake heater is much better BUT the instructions are only in Japanese. They contain a table of temperatures (in Celsius) at different settings. I've measured the actual surface temperature of sake at each setting, and from my measurements, sake tends to get (and stay) about 10 degrees Celsius warmer than their chart shows. (See
