Saki Bomb! Saki Bomb! Saki Bomb!

Chances are, if you've ever been to a Japanese Restaurant/Sushi Bar, you've either done a Saki Bomb, or you've seen someone else do a Saki Bomb. At Ichiban, people order them all the time. However, there are times when people come in, want to do a Sake Bomb, but they don't know how. So for all you first time Saki Bombers, here is a step by step process on how to drink one correctly and enjoy it in the process, next time you visit us, or your local sushi restaurant. 

Step 1: Pour the beer in the Pint glass and the saki in the shot glass. 

 

Step 2: Place your chopsticks across the top of the pint glass so that they are about ½ inch apart, the approximate width of the shot glass.

Step 3: Place the shot glass on the chopsticks so that it rests above the middle of the glass. Each chopstick should be holding up one of the edges of the shot glass.

Step 4:With a big group of friends chant "sake...sake...sake...BOMB!", and slam the table with two balled fists, and watch the sake drop into the beer. Chug and enjoy. Repeat as necessary.

And there you have it! You are now an Ichiban Pro at doing a real Saki Bomb. Woohoo! So next time you come in with some friends and order a round of Saki bombs, you'll be able to show someone else (whose never done one) how take it like a champ!

Next time you do a Saki Bomb, take a picture or a video email it to us and we will post it on our blog!
