Sake

i just had some of this fine eastern alcoholic drink about
all weekend it seems like. you're supposed to serve it at
100 degrees fahrenheit - so we boiled water and put the
bottle in the sink until the fliud was nice and toasty. the
temperature suits the drink and strangely, it's more of a
warm, focused drunkeness - i can see why samurai drank it -
it makes me feel like i could kill a million men myself.

anyone else enjoying this lately?

It makes me feel like an unstoppable Samurai mercenary.

ah ophecks - so you have felt the wonderful powers of sake
as well?

my friend actually has a katana - it's cheap though and
loose at the hilt - but it looks cool.

I don't know if the liqour stores where you're at carry it,
but a few around my area in texas do - it's not cheap, but
then better liqours usually aren't cheap anyways.

try some liqour stores, probably some bigger ones.

"you're supposed to serve it at
100 degrees fahrenheit"


> i don't know how much it is in °Cs... but not all sakes
must be served warm. some are best served cool.

(i personally have tasted both, and i prefer cold sakes)

the quality of sake can vary a lot too...

There's loads of different types of Sake. It is a brilliant
drunkness though what ever you have.

it depends of rice - sake is made from rice
samurai was never drinking sake

indeed.

personally though, the taste of sake doesn't bother me that
much - i didn't know there were cold brands of sake though.

it probably doesn't bother me since its more derived from
rice.

i read also in japan, "sake" just means "alcohol"... to get
sake in japan you must ask for "nihon shu" (which means
"japanese wine" or something like that, though sake doesn't
taste like wine)

my only deeper knowledge of sake was from what a friend told
me.

question btw - how do you know if a brand of sake should be
served warm or cold?

wait that's stupid.... that's what labels are for. *shanks
self in the gut*

Yeah, but it's polite to try and say it in the way that
they're accustomed. I always try to learn the basics of a
language when I'm visiting that country. I hate feeling like
I'm ignorant.

JivverDicker > yeah, of course... but well... *shrugs*

Oddioblender > i don't know if it's written on the label...
really, i don't know much about it either - barely what i
posted. i just tasted sake three or four times, once in a
very good japanese restaurant and once in my trip to japan;
i only drink alcohol rarely - i'm not even talking about
going in night parties or drinking with friends..... that
must happen like once in 10 years for me...

eXXailon > maybe it was not best... quality/taste can vary a
lot, i tasted some cheap one once and i didn't like it at
all but afterwards i tasted other ones and they were
delicious. (or yes, maybe you don't like it at all, i don't
know : ))

Oddioblender > do you know how bathrooms are in japan? : )

usually, you take a shower to wash yourself, rince yourself
well, and then take a hot bath to relax yourself.
they even have bathtub systems for the water to stay hot, no
matter how long you stay in it!!

also toilets in japan... can vary a lot. there are
ultra-hi-tech toilets with lots of buttons on a control
panel, heating seat, water spritzing and stuff, but also
some kind of very basic urinals - like normal stand-up
urinals for men but horizontal, not vertical, and that can
also be used for shitting... (i'm glad i never had to use
those)

"bakemono - monster ( now you know where pokemon come

> actually, "pokémon" comes from the contraction of "pocket
monster" (poketto monsta~)...

yes this is what they are telling
in fact those pocket mosters and Bakemono were compiled -
its normal for japan, not normal for other countries
word pokemon is not new - i've seen this one yet before
pokemons

about pokemon - try to think in this way :
bakemono - monster
pokemon - pocket monster
so - we have 2 monsters , and
pokemon - bakemono , its not so far , isnt it ?
