Sake Anyone?

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 26 November 2006 in Lifestyle & Culture.

This was taken in a place named Echigo Yuzawa in Niigata. It's a place where you can try over 100 different kinds of Japanese Sake (Rice Wine). One of the guys in the photo only managed to get as far as 20 when this happened. It's actually quite good value, you pay 500yen and then you receive 5 token coins that you can use to purchase shots of Sake. Anyway this image may be blurred and it's only because this is how I was seeing things at the time of taking the photo, maybe I should've taken the photo before the tasting.

hahah,
a picture's worth a 1000 words

@Dan: They sure do. Just a little slower to get the 1000 words if you drink too much.

Ben from New York City, United States

That's really funny...I hope you were in better shape than the "guy" on the floor.

@Laurie: I'm not sure, I always carry my camera so I can use the images as memories just incase. But looking at the angle from which I took this photo I guess I'm still on both my feet at that time.

Daniel from United States

Funny.

this is hilarious!

The company I used to work for used to send us to Tsukuba all the time. I love it there and now, I regret not having the time to take photos. I sure will be a regular on your site.
