Sake anyone?
Although far from an expert in Japanese wines, I am enjoying sake. Tonight I split a bottle with a friend in the old Beijing Cafe in a sixties' plaza in the DC suburbs. One cool thing about Asian cuisine is that they give their entrees and beverages fun names. I had "Happiness Lamb." Happiness sizzles. However, when the sizzle is gone, it tastes kinda like beef. Nothing special. hhmm. The sake definitely enhanced the meal.

I don't understand the sake cups. By splitting the bottle, I had somewhere around 15 cups of sake. Good thing I had a movie theater to go to next door. The best sake cups I ever employed were in Annapolis. The sake focused the picture under the little convex glass on the bottom of the cup: pornographic sake.

I once ate at a fancy restaurant with a list of sakes and a little description of each. My favorite was call "The Root of Innocence." We had a second bottle after "The Root of Innocence," but I don't recall it's name. That's probably because of the sake-tini I had first. Maybe it has to do with where the root of innocence lies. Does it grow deep in the fields where the Happiness Lambs graze?

Anyway, the movie I saw was "Little Miss Sunshine." I recommend that everyone sees it as soon as possible - with or without sake.
