wintertime-adjacent starry skies are officially here and so is my turbulent love with liquor veins of the body and soul staying artificially warm after some shots inbetween chowing on piles of pickles and pork fat based slices of pig. served altogether on a platter that sum up ideals of being zakuski cozy from the inside

Fuzzy Mammal posted:anyone in to sake? i used to think it was pretty poo poo then i did a pairing at a very nice joint (sho in stockholm i highly recommend it). one of them was so delicate it was like drinking coconut water. now i'm trying to learn more. my conclusion is that unlike most poo poo spending more actually gets you a superior product. the coconut one might be hakkaisan, which is a reasonably common sake brand that has a coconut water taste to it. like most alcohol the best way to learn is to drink a bunch of it and take note of what you like, but generally speaking: quality to price ratio is similar to wine - if you can spend more than $20 on a bottle then it will be a lot better than a $10 bottle, and a $40 bottle will be better again. past that point it varies. quality sake is usually cold, but there are exceptions. again generally speaking, sake from north of Tokyo is a cleaner more pure taste, and South is more floral. hakkaisan is from the north (Niigata) useful words: junmai- pure rice sake with no added spirits. gives a cleaner less floral taste. honjozo, ginjo, daiginjo - grades of rice milling (how much of each rice grain they polish away). associated with all kinds of flavors but usually priced in that order like I said, just drink a bunch of it and see what you like though.

liquor like salad. good cool/cold, good warm/room temp. almost uniformly terrible hot hot toddies are an exception but those are more therapeutic than recreational anyway

korean booze is very cheap and very good I like going to Yeowoosai and San Soo Gab San but as minivanmegafun points out all the good korean places and giant asian supermarkets are all in the far northwest side I think San Soo Gab San is opening a location closer to the loop as well over in river west they opened a Bonchon in Chinatown, but Crisp is still the best for korean fried chicken

gløgg/glögg, glühwein and mulled wine are all pretty similar imo, regional variation seems to be mainly slight differences in which spices you use. also i've seen the heathen nordics use white wine, which is pretty unusual away from the france-bordering parts of germany the versions with added spirits are good too (a proper feuerzangenbowle is awesome), as is mulled cider
