Despite rumors to the contrary, the Chinese don't actually bottle cute kittens for sheer spitefulness.
I, on the other hand, have been bottling my budding little tiger called Torakun. It's been a blast, between helping the kids with their homework, forgetting not to go to karate practice because of ongoing examinations at the dojo, and cleaning the cats' litter boxes (hmmmm...that picture up there is becoming mighty alluring right now) and trying to restore the semblance of order to our otherwise spotless domicile.
The end result is two cases of beer. One is a green-capped case of Torakun Regular (Japanese translation forthcoming), in sturdy 33cl bottles, because a sweaty karateka needs rehydration in hefty doses. The other is a case of white-capped Torakun-with-extra-Kiai, because kicking is better when accompanied by a bit of screaming.
Up into the Hot Room for a week or so, and fingers crossed for carbonation.
Intermediary samples were very promising, and I'm especially looking forward to the Kiai version, which definitely had a bit more punch then my 500ml test sample.
In a week or two, both should be drinkable, which means I've got about another month or so to come up with a spiffy label, for a properly celebrated Kagami biraki.
Until then (probably sooner, no worries),
