Also, while you’re correct that it is also colloquially referred to as “Japanese rice wine,” the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.
Lastly, while Fuck’s sake is great, I’m sure, the best is Bink’s sake. Yohohoho

I don’t know if I believe that or not, having been in Japan servers will ask you if you would like a biru, sake or shochu.

Easier to just use the Japanese word for a thing to mean a Japanese version of that thing rather than adding “Japanese” at the beginning of everything.
Katana - Japanese sword
Manga - Japanese comic
Anime - Japanese animated cartoon
