What's it Worth?? / Re: Flask/Shot Holder Etc

Highly doubtful its for sake'. I'm no expert but was with a Japanese girl for over a decade and picked up a few things.....
Even tho sake is made more like beer than wine it's pretty acidic. You wouldn't want to drink, let alone store, it in anything metallic or the taste would alter. I mean, even whiskey in a stainless steel flask changes flavor after time and both are low on reactivity scale.
Second, sake has great tradition. Most places won't even use glass because it's not considered to be as close to "earth" as ceramic.
Third, glasses are wrong shape.....it's an aromatic thing. Why to long to explain.
Lastly, back to metal, saki is served cold, room or hot. Metal would be poor insulation to keep it at correct temp.
(FYI- it's usually served warmed up to mask that its inferior saki. Unless its winter and your host is trying to warm you beware of warmed saki)
Like I said, I don't know for sure but reasoning leads me to say its not for sake.
You can google things like "tequila forum" or rum, whiskey.....post pictures there. To me it has that Spanish influence look to it you see in Mexico. So I figure Mexico....must be Tequila!
Hey! Who just yelled "racist"?
