This depends on whether your sake is spirit or wine form (ie, the alcoholic content of the liquid which can vary from 4% abv to over 40%!).
For a soft or aperitif form of sake, with a low alcoholic content, the bottle should be consumed within a couple of days, whereas a spirit sake (25+%) can be kept for months after opening if resealed with little effect on the quality.
The rule of thumb would be to treat the sake like a western drink with eqivalent alcoholic content.
eg. 4% = Beer = 12 - 24 hours
13% = Wine = 3 - 4 days
40% = Whisky = 3 months or more
I hope this helps.

It is generally best to consume your sake soon after you purchase it. Although sake is sometimes aged, often with wonderful results, most sake is best consumed within a few months after purchase.
Once you open your bottle of sake, we suggest you enjoy the complete bottle within two or three hours, and if you have friends over that's not too hard. If you simply can't finish it all, please store in your refrigerator and drink the remainder within the next two days. Premium sake, once opened, begins to oxidize, and this noticeably impacts the taste.

Stored forever. Who'd drink it?
