Holy, wow! That sounds like an exciting, wonderful day. I am very partial to Sho Chiku Bai. I'll have to try to find some of their flavored varieties because I've never tried them.
Yeah, it was pretty good. Although I'm still recovering. :)
I didn't even know before going that Cho Shiku Bai was a TaKaRa brand. I also had no idea that they made flavored sakes. The Fuji Apple is watered down to 8% by volume and tastes like a very crisp cider. It's lovely. Good luck finding it.
Ooh, i always wanted to try soda made with cane sugar! lucky you. :) This post pushed me over the edge to introduce mexican food as part of american culture where I am in japan. It used to be a significant part of my diet, and I always draw a blank when someone asks me what american cooking is like. Burritos are easy for kids too. If you got the commercialized version of a japanese tradition, don't feel too cheated. That's just part of the tradition it seems. Did you hear anything about the advent of sake clarification while you were in the museum? It used to be murky, you know. My high school japanese teacher always used her maiden name of konoike because her family was once famous for developing a method of clearing the brew. Just curious, not expecting name recognition.
I think cows play a significant part in traditional American cooking. But one of the things to stress is that we're an immigrant nation, so we have many different regional cuisines, dominated by the immigrant populations in ascendance in a given region
