When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine that's...awamori...

You gotta lean in close for this one.

A little closer...

There ya go!


Awamori...nectar of the gods or, as some people (namely people like me) would consider...an alternative form of petrol...a gasoline-derivative.

I asked myself why in the world I would want to drink something with this...or...these in it. I couldn't even come up with a bad reason. The best way to describe this is "liquid Viagra" and that's all I have to say about this subject. It's made from rice and is a sake (sock aye) NOT sock eee! It is made from an extract of the Habu snake. Wikipedia doesn't have pictures but...you just saw mine. Those are Habu snakes...Okinawa's native pit viper. Habu + venom = you prolly gonna die! This is NOT something I would want to cross paths with. It's also something I wouldn't want to cross my lips.

They're packaged nicely. After all, presentation is everything! You can ship these bad boys back to the States. I don't know why you'd want to do that...but you can. I mean, what do you do when the only thing left is the snake?

By the way...Happy Father's Day! :)

Ok, I was taking a drink and my water almost came out of my nose when I read your blog tittle! Hahaha! Clever!
I would NEVER try this. I wouldn't even want the creepy bottle in my house. From what I hear, the decaying snake gives it its "golden" color. When some restaurants finish of their jars, they just add sake to the snake and a few days later, you have the color back! Sick.
