Sorry forgot to answer, I like mine hot enough that it steams the glass on the pyrex measuring cup I use in the wave (don't boil it) or very cold
At japanese steak houses (a personal favorite "ethnic" restaurant) I leave it on the edge of the grill, it can get pretty warm

Well, ahem, sir. You were the one who did not know how to serve Sake. :roll:

As for an answer, it is the same as the answer to, "What color should a Teardrop be?"

The answer is, "It depends on your tastes."

As you can see from my avatar, I'm more of a Vodka dog, but I dabble with sake when I'm feeling frisky, and a Japanese way.

I personally like Sake quite warm -- almost hot -- about 100-105 degrees. Of course, a sake purist would suggest that sake only be served this way in cooler months, but I don't care.

If you want to go chilled, I recommend a premium sake, with less bite, and more fruitiness to it. Just as some vodkas are good for mixing, while only the premium vodkas are good straight, some sakes are better than others for serving chilled.

Cheap sake will go down better if warmed.

Gekkeikan is a respected brand, but they make several different sakes. Some are better than others for serving chilled.

If you serve chilled, serve in small glasses, like shot glasses. If warm, use small porcelain cups. You could borrow mine, but I don't know if they are worth the drive. To really impress your guests, garnish with flower petals.

Barbarrians, indeed. <huff> 8)

I got my Sake Set from the manufacturer...I was in Japan for a total of 2 monthsish.

Sorry if I am slurring...too much Sake!
