Mitsuzou

Our host poured it from a “Hawaii Deep Sea Water” bottle, but it was definitely not water. It was thick, milky and slightly chunky. We were drinking Japanese moonshine, illegally home-brewed sake. It packed a wallop but not from the alcohol as much as from the chili pepper used to prevent spoilage.
Looking forward to having some more of that soon. Maybe I’ll make some myself…
