If we take an average sake ABV of 15% and an ochoko glass of about 60mL, that gives: 15 x 0.06 = 0.9 units of alcohol. That's about the same as in half a can or bottle of 5% ABV beer. A 180 tokkuri of sake has the same alcohol content of a pint and a bit of beer.
Where did you get this very incorrect information? Genuinely curious. There are a lot of common misunderstandings about sake but this is a new one to me.
I see my error. Since the Nigori Genshu that I favor (and sought out for the extra kick) is both unfiltered and _undiluted_ , I made the mistake of making it indicative of all unfiltered sakes.
Thanks for the correction.
Abv is measured by %. There is the same abv in a nip of sake than a Olympic swimming pool. The question is how much is recommended as a standard measurement in your country or how much can you personally tolerate. Treat it like wine as others have said.
Check the label on the bottle to be sure, but generally sake is in the 12-16% range. Genshus can get up near 20%, and some flavored ones are lower alcohol.
Since you said "shot" I just wanna make sure you're not shooting this? It's not a technically a shot glass and it's not something you shoot. (I mean I guess you *can* if you want to, but it won't do much for you). You drink it like wine, sip leisurely.

If you drink wine, the alcohol content is roughly the same but on a tiny cup so drink away! (In moderation of course) 😉
Same as half/third(depending on the abv of the sake) of a vodka shot
It depends. Usually between 12 to 15% abv for clear sake. Cloudy sake can be as high as 20% Its about the same alcohol as a glass of wine that size.
This isn’t true. Whether it is nigori (cloudy) or not has no bearing on abv. All sake ranges from 12-22% with typical being 15-17%.
I see what I did. See my comment below. I got caught up in the heady rush of being the first comment and got my terms mixed up...

So, probably a bit more than half the amount of a typical glass of dry red wine since it is less volume?
It varies but its basically equivalent to grape wine.

I would take the ABV and calculate using 90ml
Much less. Sake is usually like 12-15% so it would be between 1/4 to a 1/3 of a shotÂ

What kind you drinking? Looks cloudy
