Too much shochu?

A real Kyushu danshi would say, there's no such thing as too much shochu. Well, Mark has written a post with a picture, that I didn't know existed up until today, that makes a powerful case against downing a bottle of shochu as fast as you can, especially if you are attending a night time hanami party in front of Kumamoto Castle.

With the sounds of 50 bumping from our ghetto blaster, I drank too much, too fast. The next thing I knew, I was persuaded to test my martial skills against the scantily clad natives. The shochu numbed my concerns, and I was cheared on until I felt victory was assured.

But my head swam as I was thrown to the ground. As hard as I tried, I was unable to beat the salarymen in front of Kumamoto Castle in sumo, and I walked away in disgrace with a limp and some blood on my khakis.

So know I know the rules, and should the opportunity present itself once again I will do better. First, I'm going to yank on the leopard print until it gets driven into the deepest of crevices with an Atomic wedgie.

If that doesn't work I'm going to kick him in the nuts, repeatedly. I have learned my lesson well. Next time its no mercy...

Nice dude. I was just going through old pictures and seeing which needed to be posted. I left out your last name in case you ever decide to turn pro and you don't want to face your unsuccessful beginnings. Too much shochu? never!

yomama:

Hey, no wonder your khakis get all beat up! Meat tenderizer works well to dissolve bloodstains on clothing, so no worries...just try to not get tenderized yourself the next time, okay?

Is shochu is same as Korean soju?


Kevin

Whoops-- that second "is" should be a "the." Maybe too much shochu-reading can do that to you.

Adam:

What's up Kevin,

Yeah, shochu is the same stuff as soju. The stuff I drank that night came in a pretty bottle, but was about as pleasant as Jinro from a cardboard juice carton. Initially dismissing it as a weak form of vodka, I have come to appreciate the variety and subtle range of scents and tastes. Oh God, I sound like an alcoholic.

Those rock marks stayed on your back for a while. We should have showed them a rear naked choke.

Adam:

I remember Joe wanted to mix it up with those guys, but I'm glad we didn't because it was all in good fun.

I should have grabbed them by the breifs instead of trying to wrestle them, cause they certainly made use of my belt. Also, I had no idea that a knee touching the ground constituted a loss. After going to Nagoya and watching sumo, I am prepared to sumo properly.

Now I know that when the round starts, when throwing the sacred salt to purify the ring, one should aim for the face, specifically the eyes, of their opponent.

I normally enjoy my Shochu on the rocks and Soju straight up (chilled of course). Here's my first blog on shochu...
