Ae Chan Izakaya


A Japanese friend took me to a super yummy Japanese bar/eatery a few nights ago. We decided to splurge and bought sake. I don't know why in the West they always serve sake in those tiny cups. In Japan, sake is traditionally served in a wooden box. You always get "extra service" too, as they set the box on a plate, pouring the sake until the box is overflowing. You should even drink the sake with a little salt on the side.

I have only drunk hot sake from tiny tea cup like pottery. Either way, sake is bound to make your head spin; I couldn't drink more than 1/3 that night.
