    I am thinking if I want a quality sake that sits on my shelf and I use a little in cooking, I want any of the pasteurised versions? I know you can buy "cooking sake" but I am guessing this is the cheapest quality sake? I am wanting to use it in cooking but I also want it to be a quality tasting sake. ie, you don't use a cheap wine in cooking, you want one that tastes really nice when drunk.

    cooking sake can be seen as cooking wine, there's added salts to keep people from drinking it like a beverage,and the salt is used to boost the savoriness of the dish. If you making something tht asks for wine its better to get a wine base on the food. red wines for red meats,white wine for white meats. if you need the bite of alchol to act as your acid then go for a cheaper sake, something in the honjozo range.

    in terms of fermenting a starch to get alchol ,yes. but I've yet to taste a Vodka that have a different taste due to different potatoes or water being used. All vodka has the same range of taste with varying degrees of filtering making it taste "smoother" on the throat... at least imo.

    Sake and Vodka are fairly different from one another. Sake is a brewed rice beverage, similar in process to Beer. In terms of alcohol, it typically contains between 9-16% alcohol content which is similar to wine, rather than liquor. Vodka is a distilled spirit typically made from grain or potatoes. It usually contains 40% alcohol.
