Taiji Sake Warmer - TSK-130B
This industrial strength sake warmer is an indispensable item for restaurants that go through high volumes of sake. The machine works by heating boxes of sake to 45-65ºC by directing the sake through a series of glass tubes immersed in heated water to warm the sake to the desired temperature. This method heats sake evenly and gently, without adversely impacting flavor or clarity. This unit requires its own outlet and regular cleaning. When maintained properly, this sake warmer can last over ten years.

How it works
- The unit indirectly heats the sake through a coil with warm water.
- Water enters the unit through top right hole in the machine.
- Beneath this hole is a water level indicator and then at the bottom on the right is a spout to release water from the unit.
- The sake box is connected to the machine by a coupler. There are two types of couplers for:
- Coupler A included: American sake boxes (ex. Oseiki)
- Coupler B import: Japanese sake boxes (ex. Shirayuki)
- The power button is the green [SW] button on the unit.
- The temperature control is to the right of the power yellow power button.
- Nurukan / low temperature is 45 degrees Celsius.
- Atsukan / high temperature is 65 degrees Celsius.
- The next button to the left of the temperature control is the manual pour button.
- The spout position controls the pouring and has an automatic shut off.
- When the spout is pushed back, the unit will pour sake.
- The tray is adjustable under the spout based on the size of the sake bottle.

- Clean daily. Sugar from the sake will build up inside and cause clogging, if not cleaned regularly.
- To clean, use an empty sake box, fill with warm water, then run the water through the machine several times.
- If the unit has not been cleaned, some parts of the unit may need to be replaced.
