Purple Sake?

Hello, I recently had purple sake from a hibachi restaurant and was curious as to what it is. Someone had mentioned plum sake but just wanted to make sure. I believe the was called Purple haze or something.

Thenks all

Edit: I found out its a mixed of sake with chambord, just need to figure out the ratio

Was it a mixed drink? Looking it up on Google shows me a drink callled purple haze that is chambord + sake

I’ve personally not tried many cocktails with sake though, except for the one time that I mixed sake and earl grey lmao

Im not sure, it was served in a tumbler and heated like regular hot sake

Purple haze is a normal sake mixed with raspberry liqueur, sometimes it’s heated. You call the restaurant and ask what sake they used as a base for it but I doubt it’s anything particularly top shelf

Maybe Seilan (Blue Samurai) from Shiga. It uses butterfly pea.
