Shochu Fes is July 8-9 in Fukuoka. More than 60 #shochu and #awamori makers are participating. More info here: shochufes.jp

It's always a pleasure to see #shochu get a little love. And I love how they linked everything back to Umami Mart! Thank you, departuresmag, for the list. Kanpai! departures.com/cuisine/japane…

Correct.

Oh come on.

Only 15 hrs left! Get your discounted tix to our Takamine #kojiwhiskey tasting next Thursday. We’ve got a never-before seen expression and a guest bartender for ticketed guests. Join ⁦Stephen Lyman⁩ and I ⁦Travel Bar⁩ for a kanpai! eventbrite.com/e/japan-distil…

Many moons ago. Hope it’s still useful!

Come and get it!

I’d put money on a dozen plus. May need to crowd source how to assemble the best possible Bloody Mary between now and New Orleans. #cocktail

If you’re at Tales of the Cocktail today, join us this evening across the river. This should be a lot of fun. Kanpai!
