Consider this...

It's taken the west quite some time to learn how to pronounce the word sake. For decades we have been skiing - Saki! And only now are learning to drag out the Kay at the end of the word - Sa-kay. But I still default to the French accent as the most entertaining way of saying Sake. Their pronunciation makes sake sound sexy, which of course it is!
