It was remarked tonight, while eating way too much sushi, that Ozeki Sake (U.S.A.) is also in Hollister. Look for Ozeki domestic Sake at the next hollister2008Casa de Worldcon event...
And when shall that next event be? Westercon perhaps...hmmm?
Last night I had two, ug, two shots of wokka( http://www.wokkasaki.com/about.htm ), saki and vodka together in a bottle.....my head is telling me never to do that again, after much Tequila. Thank goodness I drank lots and lots of water!
If there's enough interest, we have a room and may do a party at Westercon. It can't deplete the budget so much we can't do a L.A.con IV party.
Wokka sounds nasty. It's kind of backwards. Honjozu-style sake is sake with a bit of neutral spirits added; it lightens the flavor and opens up the aromatics a bit. Almost nobody imports Honjozu-shu to the states, though.
For a really wierd sensation, try Gekkeikan Zipang Sparkling Sake (http://www.gekkeikan-sake.com/product.cfm?start=7&type=import). It's good, but it's weird. Very BASFA...
Actually, it wasn't bad chilled. It was just having two shots, after many Margaritas... We were with a twenty something crowd last night. And we outlasted them...heh. They thought Dave and I were "early forties" at most. The host of course knew.
