Decorate the party. This step is optional and should only be followed for those persons wishing to bring a little more fun and excitment to the evening. For an idea, opt for the following: Japanese writing or figurines hung from a ceiling. As a general rule of thumb, red and white colors are very important and identifiable within the Japanese culture.

Get the sake. Buy hot sake that is made to be served hot. This will improve the quality of the drink. Because the sake is dropped into a glass of beer, it is not important to buy a high quality sake. Any sake should work out just fine, as it will be mixed with the beer.

Get some beer. Buy a good, and authentic, beer. If in a Japanese restaurant, use Sapporo beer. This is generally a good choice. It is not too expensive and works really well as a sake bombing base. For those who do not like Sapporo, or prefer to use an American brand, buy a lighter beer like Bud Light, Amstel Light, Miller Lite or Rolling Rock. Any light colored beer will work just fine.

Get the proper utensils. A sake bombing party does not require a lot of preperation, however there are a few minimal things you will need to get the ball rolling. Provide everyone with their own beer glass. Paper cups will do just fine. However, be sure the cup is strong enough to hold the beer and shot glass without spilling over. Next, provide everyone will their own sake shot glass. Any shot glass will do - including plastic ones. Remember, these are going to be dropped into a glass of beer, so if you use a big, heavy, thick shot glass, it may not work very well. Keep it simple. Depending on how you choose to drop your shot glasses into your beers, you may or may not want a set of chopsticks for everyone. This is one style, but it is not necessary.

Do it together. Make sure everyone is set up with beer and sake. Count off, "3.... 2... 1... bomb". Watch as everyone drops their sake into their beer, and then shoots back the entire drink. Make sure everyone does it on the same count.

Tips & Warnings
Get a lot of alcohol. Depending on how you use your sake bombing party, the average person will drink anywhere from 3-6 bombs before beginning to feel intoxicated from the alcohol. This means you will need a good amount of beer and sake to keep everyone satisfied. Plan accordingly.
Be prepared to have to clean up the mess afterward. The only downside to sake bombing, is that likelihood that beer/sake will spill all over the place. Plus, you have people chugging which always eventually leads to people spilling.
