"Soulptigug 01, some - Wu; ing new, SoMatbing bor- rowed, somethfug b ,» is an AmerCCan bridal trach., tort that has been handed down through the years and Minailla as papular, today,. as in the past. In spite of our last -paced► contemporary lifestyle, traditions have long influ- enced the various- mar- riage ceremonies through- out the world. Tnt Japan, a golden rice wine known as Sake and often referred to as the nectar of the gods, is an essential part of the wed- ding ceremony., .The bride and groomeach take three sips from, three cups of Sake signifying fidelity, happiness and harmony. According to an ancient Japanese saying, Sake should be served warm .. and by a warm-hearted woman, for it is meant to be a person-to-person drink. Among lovers, an ex- change of Sake cups holds a deeper meaning than a kiss; among friends, an exchange of ,,:Sake cups Indicates the deep regard for each other; among a roomful of strangers, it is Inean.t to make close friends. Sake, one of the oldest drinks in the world, has been improved and re- fined from special strains of rice for over 2,000 years to bring out the not too dry, not too sweet, delicate nut -like Savor. Traditionally Sake is served slightly warmer than body temperature, about 100 to 105F, for heating releases its heady bouquet. Today, though, many enjoy it chilled, poured over ice or right out of the�,bottle. If serving it warm, it adds to the enjoyment to follow the Japanese cus- tom: Decant the warm Sake into a small ceramic • evenings flask called tom which is brought to the table and poured into tiny uceramic cups called sakazuki. (Tokkuri and sakazuki may be obtained at any oriental, goods store and some Sake producers en- close the set with a bottle of Sake in attractive gift packages — unusual and ideal fart the newlywed hast and hostess.) Whether served in a traditional or contempo- rary manner, Sake is. the timeless catalyst for spark- ling evenings. It goes well with everything enjoyable; an adjunct to warm gra- cious living. You can celebrate with Sake, relax with Sake or even cook with Sake. Sake can be used in any recipe calling for dry white wine or sherry and unlike other wines, Sake will maintain its special qualities after ureorking (refrigerate please) almost indefi- nitely.
