I get emails from the U of U's continuing education program, which they 
call Lifelong Learning.? Often there are whisky appreciation classes, 
covering various styles of American and European spirits.? Lately I've 
done some Japanese influenced cooking, and had to go buy some sake.? And 
of course standing there at the store I realized I know nothing at all 
about this Japanese beverage.? I'm sure there is a wide range of rotgut 
to high end, single batch or whatever varieties available.

Time to do some research, and also send the Lifelong Learning folks a 
suggestion for a new class.

I've only had sake a couple of times in my life...the first was years ago
with a neighbor whose knowledge of alcohol leaned more toward quantity
rather than quality.  The latest was at a little ramen place in San
Francisco, where I had a delicious meal and a delicious Japanese stout (I
had never even considered the possibility that there would be such a thing
as a Japanese stout).  For dessert, I went to the sake menu and ordered a
couple of types...and I was enlightened.

Iza Ramen   https://www.izaramen.com/fillmore    Check out the menu to read
some descriptions of the different varieties that they have.

Cheers,
Jeff

There's a thought.? Maybe some of the better Japanese restaurants here 
in Salt Lake offer 'Sake 101' evenings or such.? I'll have to check around.
