What I...Yeah, Saboten serves up some good tonkatsu. What I like about the joint is that one can get the tenderloin katsu that doesn't have that chewy bit at the end of each piece. Also, the variety sets are quite delicious.<br /><br />After trying Kubota, I don't think I'd go for vending machine sake, you know, for the sake of my taste buds.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-6126958637461978762016-03-25T20:12:14.285-04:002016-03-25T20:12:14.285-04:00Hello, Noelle.

I had thought it was more along the lines of moonshine or rotgut. However, after getting a bottle of Hakkaisan from a student of mine, I found out that there some really smooth varieties which don't leave you moaning in pain the next morning. It is for that same reason I didn't ever get any of the vending machine brands like "One Cup Ozeki" unless I used it for cooking.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-79482243193954669542016-03-25T00:35:59.163-04:002016-03-25T00:35:59.163-04:00Hi J-Canuck.

I recall I had considered writing about it quite a while ago to start the Ayako Fuji label but wasn't able to think of what to write for it.<br /><br />"Kokorozake" was a song that I saw whenever I watched videos on the best-selling singles of the early 90's, and I remember that it stood out the most since it was probably the only enka up there - I wonder if that's how enka managed to stay popular in the 90's. It was only much later that I realised that it was by Fuji.<br /><br />Speaking of Kubota, I managed to try this sake just last week when the family and I went to this tonkatsu joint called Saboten for dinner. I must say that it changed my initial view on sake being bitter and horrible by being very smooth and quite sweet tasting. The only thing was that the high alcohol content meant that it kinda burned when I swallowed it after keeping it in my mouth for a moment to savour it.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.com
