Best Bars With Sake In DFW
Sake is a liquor, made from fermented rice, with an alcohol content close to that of wine. Sake can be sipped cold or hot depending on the type and quality. The less traditional, but very popular way American bars serve it is in a "sake bomb," with a shot of sake dropped in a glass of beer. Sake often goes hand-in-hand with sushi. Since both are of Japanese origins, and because the flavors mesh so well together, it only makes sense that this holds true just about everywhere. The best sake bars in DFW continue this tradition. For a night out with an Asian twist, here is a list of the best bars with sake in DFW.
