Quaff with sashimi or sushi (4)

I believe the answer is:

sake

(Other definitions for sake that I've seen before include "Japanese alcoholic drink made from rice" , "'Reason, purpose (4)'" , "Jap. alcoholic drink from rice; for Pete's -" , "Benefit - behalf" , "Japanese alcoholic drink make from rice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
