If you’ve not tried sake, you really should – at least once. It is an interesting drink, especially when it is served hot. It goes down all too easily and before you know it you are stumbling home from an izakaya at 3:30 in the morning… I live in Japan and that’s how I roll.
I love it and I hate it, but a sake decanter that looks like an old naval mine is a cool thing to have on the table.
From the manufacturer:
The ceramic bomb holds 8 fl oz (235ml) of the traditionally Japanese drink and comes with four small beakers, which perch neatly on the spines, making it a compact accessory for any tabletop. It is manufactured in Los Angeles by traditional kiln methods and the slip cast ceramic keeps hot sake hot and cold sake cold.
Alexander Purcell, a Los Angeles based product designer says the inspiration is a juxtaposition of the Fugu Fish (Blowfish), the most opulent of sashimi cuts and a WW II sea mine. “The name is a comical take on the western slang for the same moniker meaning to drop sake shots in pints of beer”.
The Sake Bomb is available in four different colours: white, black, orange and blue, complete with four cups.
Price: $98 (sake not included) [The Awesomer]
