Stopped by an antique store a couple days ago. They had several early half post decanters. They described them has "warmed in" as opposed to half post. Has anyone every heard it described like this before. I can't even imagine what they think that means...warmed the bottle and neck and stuck them together?

Hey Melinda,

I have never heard the term used in relation to a decanter, half post, or otherwise.

Nowdays, they have these:

The Japanese warm their sake in a tokkuri, the ceramic serving bottle.

Perhaps she had been having some slugs right outta the tokkuri and was confused...

Warmed sake..doesn't sound too good. The owner was not there, maybe home enjoying her warm sake..it has taken a cold turn here.
I was going to talk to her about the bottles. If I could get her to come down some I might buy a couple.

I'll admit it's somewhat of an acquired taste for some western folk, but really the only way to sake seriously...

I like me some excavations! Found that EHVB pickle in an excavation/construction site.

Warm sake is indeed smooth and sweet; quite tasty as far as it goes. Must be the 1/4 Japanese in me.

That was one hell of a find. I remember that one.

I enjoy a sip now and then too![;)]

Hehe, whoops! Looks like i tried to reply to both your thread and the tangential conversational offshoot of bostaurus' thread at the same time.
