IF you are in NYC , Im sure you can find something in Chinatown or a good liquor store.

 

this is the one I have :

Shao.thumb.jpg.f9a02b2dd729e44428be2c616cc3a283.jpg

 

I poured some in a glass so you could note the color.

 

I make no claims that this is the brand you should seek out.  In Chinatown BOS at a small Chinese liquor store

 

they had three versions.  as no English was spoken , I bought the mosts expensive :  $ 7.95   750 cc   17 % alcohol

 

as is is a fortified wine , it will keep for long time and not turn to vinegar .

 

Id say this tastes like a dry but dark sherry.   Ive only had a few sake's , and to me this is more complex.

 

think of a cream or dark sherry , but one that was not sweet.  its been some time since I looked into sherry

 

and at that time , dry was lighter in color, and not this tripe of complex flavor

 

a dry amontillado might work if there was such a thing.  cant say myself.
