Up until the early 90’s, most restaurants in the United States served mainly hot . Today, as a wide variety of higher quality products are imported from , sake service has transitioned to almost exclusively cold sake. While refreshing and enjoyable, we would like to introduce additional serving temperatures. At Momosan, in addition to serving cold sake, we will serve sake at a range of temperatures, from room temperature, to warm or hot. Please try sake at different temperatures, and enjoy a whole new flavor profile.
