Jetlagged.
It’s been a sleep deprived week since I got back and it is a problem. My brain still functions in German time. Feeling frustrated with being jetlagged, I turned to alcohol. CHOYA style.
A little bit of sake, given as a gift, oh, I don’t know how long ago…
With a little bit of umeshu, purchased many years ago…
And you get this…
A balance of flavor in lightness from sake and in sweetness from umeshu, complementing each other in a clear liquid of blush-copper shade.
Long gone the high note of a slight stringent filtered rice alcohol taste of sake. Long gone the intoxicating pungency of sweet and sour plum of umeshu. What’s born from the marriage of the two is a welcoming gift to the night. Bringing with it a new and mellow fragrant freshness and a subtlety in sweetness. And hopefully a quick remedy for a good-night sleep.
Wish me luck.

Sorry I haven’t visited for so long. Good that you wrote on this type of drinking (I don’t drink so I don’t know much about it)
Xanga is not what I hoped it would be but hey I am still around but not doing much except comments.
not a problem, phil. it’s good to hear from you again. yes, i am also very disappointed with xanga. so far i have only 2-3 members who still read and comment on my posts here. now i post on both xanga and wordpress. many have migrated there. and i don’t blame them. it’s free and they get a much broader audience, and in turn, more followers.
