Tweaked Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'm looking to making some Japanese recipes and several of the recipes call for the use of sake, generally in marinades and sauces. However, most of the recipes call for only a tablespoon or two. If I buy a bottle of sake, how long does a bottle keep? Will a bottle stay fresh in my fridge for a month or two, or does it need to be drunk after opening? I mean, I have no problem drinking a bottle of sake...but I would prefer not having to buy a bottle each time I want to marinated some tofu!

Xochitl10 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Like wine, sake starts to turn after it's been opened. It's best drunk within a few days of opening, but you'd be okay cooking with it for a month or two. In Japan, I usually bought cartons of sake to cook with (NB: not cooking sake). They'd last a couple of months in the fridge and cooked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
