So when you drink the SAKE do you drink it from the traditional FUKU cup? I have had Saki/Sake before but it was hot like tea. Not bad but I can not say that I like it. It reminds me of a traditional Mexican drink they have down here called Bacanorra that is like Tequila but it is very strong and it takes your breath away. If you have more than three shots of it it will wipe you out. If you have ever heard people say that "if you drink enough Tequila, you will hallucinate" this IS the stuff that they are talking about, but I am not shure if it might have been because my eyes watering for so long. It really warms up in your belly.
It is not something that is sold in stores and when it makes it's way into the states it was brought in illegally. I have been in Tucson since 1979 and I have only found it three or four times.
