Technically, the Japanese word “sake” can refer to pretty much any alcohol, although its use in English refers exclusively to the alcohol called nihonshu in Japan.

Also, while you’re correct that it is also colloquially referred to as “Japanese rice wine,” the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.

Lastly, while Fuck’s sake is great, I’m sure, the best is Bink’s sake. Yohohoho

  I don’t know if I believe that or not, having been in Japan servers will ask you if you would like a biru, sake or shochu.

Easier to just use the Japanese word for a thing to mean a Japanese version of that thing rather than adding “Japanese” at the beginning of everything.

Katana - Japanese sword

Manga - Japanese comic

Anime - Japanese animated cartoon
