Hot Yuzu Bath
Posted by Ela on February 25, 2008
It’s still winter in many parts of the world and what better way to deal with the cold air and short days than a hot drink that will warm your body and please your soul?
This time we are extending our map and taking a trip to Japan with Tomonori Takenouchi through an article from Yomiuri Shimbun, one of the Japan’s most internationally distributed newspapers. He does a great job of showing us how multicultural this piece of Asia is. The amazing variety of places and hot drinks offered would melt anyone’s heart and make winter the favored season.
Starting with Japanese traditions, hot sake and hot shochu (Japanese grain alcohol), and continuing with an atypical serving of a beer, hot beer, and hot cocktails like hot buttered rum the author of the article ends with our favorite one: gluhwein or mulled wine. A special blend, just ready to be served is available for gluhwein lovers in Tokyo at Vom Fass shop.
We appreciate the information about the origins of the drinks, serving suggestions, names of the places, and prices.
In the honor of the traditional Japanese drink Sake World is a nice site where you can get more educated about the sake drink and the history and culture associated.
And if you want to try a special warm drink CocktailTimes.com offers an original suggestion.
