Sake

At my last apartment the kitchen had typical cabinets that didn't go all the way to the ceiling. To fill the space between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling, I started to display finished bottles of sake. I was on a sake kick at the time and displaying the bottles served as a space filler and also as a memory device to track what sake I had tried.

When I moved into Gilman Manor I brought the collection along. Alas, with drop ceilings (evil) in the kitchen and no immediate plans to remove them, I had no place to display the bottles. They sat buried on a bottom shelf in a closet. Being phase driven I've not bought or had much sake over the past couple of years. It seemed like it was time to let go of the collection. Before just throwing them out, I did capture a few pictures.

I'm having a hard time finding Wakatake Onikoroshi "Demon Slayer", which I had a chance to try at Oishii in South End a few months ago, and really liked. Plus, cool name. Even Mall Discount Liquors near Whole Foods doesn't have it. I'll stop by the Porter Exchange Kotobukiya sometime, but I don't know if they even sell alcohol. Failing that maybe I'll take a ride over to Super 88.
