Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Okay, I'm 33 and I'm having sake (Japanese rice wine) for only the second time in my life. First time: on liberty while training at Great Lakes NTC in the navy, me and a couple of shipmates went into a Japanese restaurant in downtown Chicago and ordered sake with our meal. The stern waitress looked at us and demanded to know if we were old enough (21.) My two buddies looked down and admitted that they were not, but I fixed her with a confident gaze and told her that I (age: 19) was. As a result, I drank sake and the other two watched. I remember nothing about how it tasted. Today, I grabbed a bottle after work, just to see what it was like. I got 'Gekkeikan' brand, and first tried it cold. It tasted like bantha poo-doo. I tried giving it away to a friend of mine, but after trying it himself, he left it on my coffee table when he left. I couldn't really blame him--it tasted like spoiled rice juice. I drank a glass of merlot wine, then thought about giving the sake another try. I'd heard that it was served either hot or cold, depending on the type, and guessed that this might be a 'hot' type. I heated up a bowl of water in the microwave, then dropped a shotglass of sake into it (not pouring the sake into the water, but using it as a bath to heat it up.) Well, sheeznabbit if this stuff ain't great hot! It tastes like, well...odd schnapps, made with something other than mint. I've had three shotglasses so far, and I think I've found a new drink. Anyone else want some? ------------------ 'What's up is clearly defined as the opposite of what is down, in this case being the strongest source of local gravity...failing that, in space, what's up is opposite the direction of accelerative G-force--or, coincidentally, the same direction I happen to be targeting with these laser cannon.

Gold leader Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Ok. Could you please email it to me? I believe the right procedure is to pour it into the diskdrive and while watching the fireworks scream my email adress backwards. You might want to practice that.

Zargon Posted September 12, 2001 Share Posted September 12, 2001 My older brother has expressed his liking for it before as well, however he was quite dissappointed with the potency of it, not as strong as he expected....and you Zoomie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zoom Rabbit Posted September 17, 2001 Share Posted September 17, 2001 Uhm...perhaps you should read that passage again, li'l buddy. The time I was 19 is encapsulated in a 'flashback.' Kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
