Reply #7: Lived in a sake town for 2 years

[Godhumor]

A place called Ogawa-machi. We had three local breweries, and I still bring home bottles every year when I visit.

Just a quick warning though, the real stuff will knock you flat off your feet without you even realizing you had too much to drink. The good stuff is too damn smooth.

I was at a work party where my sake cup kept getting refilled--I, honestly, drank 12 "shots" for lack of a better before I realized just how much I had downed. I proceeded to wake up 3 hours later under a sink in a restaurant's bathroom 3 towns over. I had also acquired a lava lamp, free passes to "Attack of the Clones", and a girl's phone number.

So yeah, be careful of the real stuff.
