Ha! The coconut was on the shelf next to the raspberry. For me to even give that a chance, I’d have to overcome the idea of tanning lotion.

Japanese Osechi, Korean grocery,,,, you have just about everything you need there! Can you try Coconut Lemongrass next time?

Was at a Korean super-mart (when did the word “supermarket” suddenly start sounding old-fashioned?) and I saw this “sake” on offer. I couldn’t quite get my arm to reach out and take the bottle (some residual snobbery paralyzed me), but I did pull down a bottle of Sake One’s Momokawa Diamond. Will report as always. I’ll wait till summer for the tooti-fruitie, although God knows I trust your judgment on these things.

@S_Lloyd I would recommend giving it a try when you get a chance. It is really quite surprising.

I’m not sure a cold winter day was best, but I bet it would be really refreshing on a summer evening.

I love Sake. Always have them the more classical way, but that raspberry one sounds great.

I found one of my note-taking pix on my iPhone from the trip. It was so frustrating not being able to Tweet things while in the States (but hardly worth the international roaming charges–even for me!)

There was actually a pretty reasonable sake selection at that shop considering it is in a mall in the burbs of Connecticut. Things have changed since I lived there!

Click through for the pic if you like, the one I most wonder about is the coconut. Coconut flavored sake!? Sounds too much like Malibu for my tastes, but I still would like to try it. They should sell them in tasting packs of 180ml bottles.
