\"sake<\/a><\/p>\n

With the arrival of cold weather, kanzake <\/em>(warmed sake) becomes a more top-of-mind drinking option. For our friends\u00c2\u00a0 who enjoy their brew temped, we sought an easy-to-use, inexpensive sake warmer <\/em>{“sake tanpo (\u00e9\u2026\u2019\u00e3\u201a\u00bf\u00e3\u0192\u00b3\u00e3\u0192\u009d)” <\/em>}from Japan. This one\u00c2\u00a0 is made from aluminum.\u00c2\u00a0 To warm sake, pour it into the tanpo and place it into a bath of hot water. It’s a brilliantly simple gadget.\u00c2\u00a0 When the sake reaches body temperature (use a meat thermometer), it’s time to remove it from the bath and imbibe.\u00c2\u00a0 More on this in an upcoming post about warming sake<\/a>. <\/font><\/p>\n

The question lingers though, what does “tanpo” mean? It doesn’t sound Japanese,\u00c2\u00a0 but it doesn’t sound English or Portuguese (from which some Japanese words originate), either. After a bit of research, Hiroko discovered the intriguing answer…<\/font><\/p>\n

Tanpo from comes from yu tanpo\u00e3\u20ac\u20ac(\u00e6\u00b9\u00af\u00e3\u0081\u0178\u00e3\u201a\u201c\u00e3\u0081\u00bd), a bed warmer, “yu” (\u00e6\u00b9\u00af) means hot water, but “tanpo” is the mysterious word.\u00c2\u00a0 It turns out the word “tanpo” originally comes from the Chinese word \u00e6\u00b9\u00af\u00e5\u00a9\u2020 (tangpo), <\/font>the character <\/font>\u00e5\u00a9\u2020 means “wife.” The idea is that you hold onto your wife to keep you warm in bed. When the term “tanpo” came to Japan in 14th century, Japanese people added the modifier “yu” \u00e6\u00b9\u00af to identify the bed warmer.<\/font><\/p>\n

Therefore, sake tanpo is the warmer of sake. \u00c2\u00a0 Pick one up or improvise your own to experiment with the pleasures of atsukan this winter!\u00c2\u00a0 We’re happy to recommend a few for you to try…..
