I just want to thank those that mentioned soju. I love it. Jinro is great, Yippuseju (or whatever) is really great.

But back to the cheap, lasting, sneaky buzz; its that giant $5 bottle of Sho Chiku Bai sake that can't be beat for economics.

Just KILLED a bottle of ty-ku. "Super premium" sake...its a junmai ginjo...15%..$19.99 on sale at bevmo

On the bottle it says its the worlds purest sake and worlds best tasting sake ahah

I just had a bottle of shirakabe gura junmai at $22 (was on sale from $32 at a japanese restaurant) and I think the ty-ku is waaaay smoother...

Btw I hate warm sake

Soju is the **** mixed in with some green/oolong tea. Sneaks the **** up on you. Ask any old Japanese man and he will tell you what's up.

Try the unfiltered kind. It looks like milk when you shake it. Same type of buzz but different mouth feel.

Bad deal though... I always wondered why Jinro tasted like sweet vodka. It's cuz it's loaded with sugar. That's not what I want.

Back to sake.

A few of us got smashed on a magnum of Yaegaki last night. Not premium stuff, but very drinkable -- not much character but very smooth. I'm happy to report no hangover today!
