"Sweet Sake" comes in two forms.

The first is also called "Mirin"; it is usually an inferior sake that you can use at home for cooking or in Japanese sauces; people drank it as Sweet Sake during the Edo Period. It costs around $5-10 per 750 ml.

The second is called "Nigori" Sake and is for drinking; It can go from medium sweet to creamy sweet. You decide whether you want to use it or the Mirin for cooking. Good sake should be served slightly chilled, like white whine. Nigori starts at about $10.00 per 750 ml. and goes to $30-50++ per bottle.

If I were using it in a drink, I would use Nigori. If the sake is the principal ingredient, I would use a moderately priced bottle, just as I would if I were using Bourbon or any other liquor for a mixed drink. Drinking it straight? Get a better bottle.
