The sake bomb or sake bomber is a drink made by pouring sake into a shot glass and dropping it into a glass of beer. Sometimes two chopsticks are placed parallel on top of the glass of beer, and the shot glass is balanced carefully between them. The drinker then chants "sake...sake...sake...BOMB!" (or alternately, counting to three in Japanese: "ichi...ni...san...SAKE BOMB!"), slamming the table with two balled fists, and the sake drops into the beer.^[1] It is to be consumed immediately, and works best with warm sake. The Sake bomb is an entirely American concept and has been gaining popularity since its introduction.

Another variation of the sake bomb simply involves "bombing" a shot of lukewarm sake into chilled Red Bull poured into a whiskey glass. This is best consumed immediately.

A sake bomb is also known as a Nagasaki, or even less known as a Hiroshima.
