Rhonda SG Just when I thought that you guys have exhausted all your ideas liao, here comes yet more CHOYA cartoons! Great work, Bear and skeujin!
skeujin SG Are you looking for an aperitif to go with Japanese food? Japanese plum wine is a choice. Japanese plum wine is called ume-shu and is lightly sweet and sour. It has been consumed over 1000 years in Japan. Ume-shu is made of green ume plums and white liquor called shochu (alcohol content of about 35%). Ume plum contains potassium and calcium, so ume-shu is said to be good for health. Here is how to make plum wine: Ingredients: * 2 lb Green Ume Plum * 1 1/2 lb Crystal Sugar * 7 1/2 cups White Liquor Steps: 1. Wash green ume plum and remove the calyxes with a bamboo stick. 2. Wash a large glass jar well and dry it out under the sun. 3. Dry ume plum with a towel. 4. Place ume plum in the jar. 5. Put crystal sugar over the ume plum. 6. Pour white liquor in the jar. 7. Seal the jar and store it in a dark, cool place. 8. It will be ready in three months. *The best time to drink ume-shu is one year after this. http://japanesefood.about.com/library/weekly/aa061001a.htm
