SNAKE - N = SAKE



So we've heard a few times about this special expensive sake with a snake in it. (Think a much more grotesque version of the worm in tequila bottle.) Well, this weekend we finally saw some and it lived up to disgusting expectations. We were staying at a friend's house up in the mountains which was inherited from her father who had used the place as his pottery studio. While snooping around we found some beer bottles from 1988 unopened - VINTAGE! - and then discovered these nearby. What a find. Judging by the two bottles we found, the snake is even fed before being thrown in the liquor adding a whole other level of 'eeww' factor. We thought the bump resembled a small mouse, Satomi said it looked like frog. Either way, it's definitely one of the most unique things I've seen here. Maybe even number one.

I firmly believe that gross animal things should never be mixed with my booze! On the note of needing booze, I talked to Mom...thanks for telling me that you were going to Korea!
