That'sh what I would do.

He knows when you've been bad or good. So be good.

Weird tag? Where is the awesome tag when you need it?

"Mass quantities" = 2 or 3 drinks, red face, pass out?

When a large section of your country is radioactive for the next ten thousand years. All the birth defects and cancer that will soon occur in a few short years. Shiat parts of Tokyo are as hot Chernobyl was a headline a few weeks ago. What else can you do but drink.

mmm.. Sake. Sounds like a fun way to be patriotic.

Wasn't that because they found some old radioactive medical material in a basement and it had nothing to do with Fukushima?

/Tokyo still has less measurable radioactivity than Denver.

Unless I am misidentifying that label - I will stick to drinking everclear straight because it is less foul. Spyderqueen - is that the stuff we tried?

I feel so bad for you guys.

I'm doing my part to help the japanese economic recovery, not through sake though...

This.

The wife and I host sake meetups in the Rochester, NY area. This spring we had a meetup specifically to help out the breweries in the Fukushima area. There was a lot of good stuff there.

The kura pictured in the article is notable in that the destruction of their facilities was captured on video and widely shown on news broadcasts. They were wiped out, but they refused to stop producing sake. They managed to locate an old, abandoned brewery farther inland that survived the devastation. They quickly set up shop there and started up production again. So the fact that they were able to start shipping again last month was a pretty big deal.

The decline of sake consumption in Japan has been largely caused by the increase in popularity of foreign drinks, especially wine. The population has embraced western alcohol and turned their back on sake. The younger generations tend to see sake as something that only an old person would drink. Many smaller kuras have been forced to go out of business over the past decade. So a big increase in national sake consumption like this is tremendous news for the industry. I only hope it continues overtime and is not just a temporary nationalistic fad.

EIP if anyone would like some sake recommendations.

Wont this sake be completely irradiated, though? Seems dangerous.

You would think with all the radiation we would see more Godzilla/ Tentacle rape movies.

No, our bottle is in Korean. It was Soju.

For those who've not had it, it's like trying to drink nail polish remover. We each had a sip and then disinfected the drain with the rest of it.

So they've taken our hot dog eating contests, and now they've taken our drinking contests.
What more do you want from us, Japan? STOP STEALING OUR CULTURE.

Funny, that's how I feel about drinking Petrón.

Well, in Stalker you drink vodka to lower your rads...
