I shall practice maybe next time I go to Japan (last time I drank only shochu; I knew at least I would appreciate it a bit... since I practiced drinking shochu here!).Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-19005215472415061982013-04-16T07:08:08.696+09:002013-04-16T07:08:08.696+09:00Sissi: And, I'm ignorant about wine!

I also prefer it drier.<br />Cold wines in Europe are advised to be drunk colder than dry wines, so it's very interesting (of course rice wine is not the same...).Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.com
