I must have been reading some Japanese cookery book before I started to write my Towari post and drinking (too much) shochu while writing it ;-)Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-42564352047873451052011-04-19T22:36:44.591+09:002011-04-19T22:36:44.591+09:00Hiroyuki, thank you very much for the correction, ...Hiroyuki, thank you very much for the correction, I repair the mistake straight away! <br />When you said you saw some of my shochu posts, I even wanted to ask you (but didn't dare bothering you...) if in my "copy and paste" actions I haven't put mistakes in my blog (I don't read Japanese and, as you see, I mix up even the names written in Latin alphabet...). I am very grateful for your correction! <br />I like IIchiko very much. It is (here) 50%-60% more expensive than for example Towari shochu, but it is well worth it... it's only shochu I enjoy without lime, and often only with ice. <br />If by miracle your father's favourite arrives to Switzerland, I'll taste it!Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-70291158963215060692011-04-19T07:29:30.796+09:002011-04-19T07:29:30.796+09:00Sissi: I found one minor mistake in your blog: N...Sissi: I found one minor mistake in your blog: Not Tawamari but Towari.<br />十割 is usually pronounced juuwari (10 wari, i.e., 100%), but this particular product is called Towari.<br /><br />I found this page:<br />http://www.takarashuzo.co.jp/kodawarigura/towari/recipe.htm<br />(Japanese only)<br />which lists several recipes for Towari.<br /><br />Iichiko, "Shitamachi no Napoleon", is a favorite of my father's.<br />(Shitamachi means the old part of Tokyo.)Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-43895743684725922852011-04-19T00:25:37.317+09:002011-04-19T00:25:37.317+09:00Hiroyuki, I have heard about the multi-distilled c...Hiroyuki, I have heard about the multi-distilled cheap shochu, but here in Switzerland Japanese shops sell only the "honkaku" I think. It's sometimes so good I hesitate before putting a slice of lime...<br />I don't like it with oolong (advised on one bottle), but maybe I should try barley shochu with barley tea. It's funny, but some men, shop vendors, tell me they have never tasted shochu (and they are Japanese). <br />Anyway, I'm a very big fan and regret only not being able to understand everything written on the bottles :-(Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-85832128785107245572011-04-18T07:56:11.825+09:002011-04-18T07:56:11.825+09:00Jan: All my family are fans of Arashi!Jan: All my family are fans of Arashi!Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-38988094902469532822011-04-18T05:41:43.914+09:002011-04-18T05:41:43.914+09:00I'm an Arashi fan so I'm glad you like Bar...I'm an Arashi fan so I'm glad you like Bartender and Lotus, Hiroyuki san!Jannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-84785407412733296672011-04-17T19:59:01.364+09:002011-04-17T19:59:01.364+09:00Sissi: I understand from your blog that you like ...Sissi: I understand from your blog that you like shochu.
