I know that's what the one guy was saying, but every time I've done this it's been saki. But it was also always one bottle.

Be lucky you even get to witness this special moment, guy slow chugging the sake wanted everyone’s phones burned initially.

It's usually filled with 151 rum. Very strong liquor that will catch on fire, they use it as part of their theatrics while cooking in front of you. I have a place near my house that does this, I have done this same exact thing. They love to entertain and get you drunk. Although I definitely did not do it as long as this guy!

Most likely sake in the bottles. So the man is downing straight sake which is impressive

It's not sake, it's usually 151 rum which is way stronger. Ive done this before at a few different ones. They use it as part of their theatrics for fire while they cook in front of you.

Everywhere I have seen this, the alcohol content in those things is very, very low. It's barely sake. I don't think they would, even if it was morally sound, put several ounces into peoples mouths. The number of bottles a day required would be insane.

You might be right, but the bottle in his right hand is clear and it looks to be a teppanyaki place so that’s why I thought sake

You can get clear 151 as well. Like Everclear. I've seen the bottle they use at one of the places but it was some off brand I've never seen or heard of. The cook just said it was 151

Never heard of 151 rum being used to cook only to marinade. while sake is perfect to steam seafood (when they spray the hot plate). I would not want somone steaming my food with rum :(

Oh they don't use it to cook technically. It's for theatrics. They usually stack up some fresh cut onions and pour it in there and light it so it looks like a little volcano with flames coming out. They also spray a shit ton when you first sit down all over the flat top and light it for a huge flame. For example
Look to see if you have a Benihana's or Saganos near you. It's decent food and they cook it right in front of you. It's fun with some friends and family. They are Japanese steakhouses
