Sake

Okay. Sooooooooo, I may not be the most cultured person in the world...and this question is pretty embarrassing.

I know sake is a Japanese liquor (made from rice I believe?) and it's pronounced "sa-ki."

Now...when I order sushi there's also sake (salmon) under the sashimi menu. Is it pronounced the same as the liquor?

I know, silly question.

The drink sake, is pronouced 'sa-keh'.
The salmon is pronounced 'sa-ki'
hope that helps.

It does! Cause I always feel like a fool ordering...

Thank you!

I tried it once and thought it was nasty nasty nasty!  Tasted like paint thinner, or at least what I would imagine paint thinner would taste like if I ever actually tasted it.

Hahaha yeah I smelled it once and was too afraid to taste it....
