Was I that obvious??? :hehe:

no but despite the sake goggles that i'm wearing after finishing my 13th shot i can see thru your ruse....just barely. in fact there is a female sittin' in the corner over there...wait, i hope these goggles aren't fooling me in to thinking she's good looking. i hope she's not a Monet -- good from far, but far from good. :nut: :drink:

Hardly a ruse.

More like a full-blown sting operation. ;)

im saying that a sake meant to be served cold, wouldn't taste the same if it was served hot.

Absolutely. A nigori should never be served warm. It's just wrong.

No shit...that's f*cking gross...you would surely YACK after the first glass.... :drooling:

It would be the same as drinking mucus. :hehe:

Nigori - Warm ? =HELL NO!

Nigori - Cold ? =OH BABY!!!!!!

Man, that's no small time sake bar.

I used to work for a chain of Wine shops, and I loved it when the tastings were held over at Takara.

That was me. :)

The tasting room was just "wow". I didn't even know there was a seperate room for tasting until I got there. :hehe:

I purchased a bottle of plum wine which was really good chilled. I couldn't stand any of the other tastes. Maybe I need to drink some more so that the taste won't matter. :beaten:

Sweet article, bmw. Thanks for the opportunity for the insight! I myself don't know much about sake (although I could tell you stories that will put you to sleep about beer) however, I feel more confident in whatever future choices I may make to try some brands of sake.

Sure thing, Aho.

Ain't knowledge (especially about booze) fun? :hehe:

Since a few of us were discussing mixed drinks in the "Member's Pics Comments Only" thread (sorry!) I thought I would add this receipe here in honor of dochira leaving for Hawaii soon for a nice vacation. :)


Mai Tai

1 1/2 oz. Dark Rum
1/2 oz. each: Orange Curacao & creme de noyaux (almond flavored liqueur), lime juice
Dash of Grenadine if desired
Shake with ice & serve in a Hurricane or decorative glass
Or add extra juice & blend with crushed ice for a frozen variation,
Garnish with a flag (an orange slice and cherry skewered)

replace with 151 for the Oh My! Mai Tai. :hehe:

It's a brand of liquor that is named for it's proof: it is 151 proof, or ~75% alc.

Sorry, Bacardi 151 (aka 75+% alc) rum. Stronger than normal rum, 80 proof vs 151 proof

i dont like black coffee ... guess i am not into bitter stuff .. although when i do drink coffee with millk ... i want it strong ... not the american big mug types ... instead strong concentrated but with milk and sugar

actually out here lots of them drink that strong black coffee with no sugar ... DAMN ... :shakehead: .... NO WAY ... for me

I put in like 5-7 packs of sugar in a mug.

yep it's pretty good, I've had the Black Cherry, Orange, Green Apple however green Apple has the most taste, the others kinda taste the same.

No wonder when I lost a bet with an old coworker at Louis Vuitton, she wanted the Green Apple flavor and wouldn't take anything else.
I went to Daiei to get it and they were out for 2 weeks. However, all the other flavors were in stock.
Hmmm, that good huh?

That stuff taste like a wine cooler or something?
