Miuristic Theory of Home Drinking
Q1: What kind of drinking do you usually do at home? What are the advantages of "drinking at home" compared to "drinking out"?
I often invite friends over for drinks at home. Recently, my friends' children have also gathered together and we all play "Mario Kart" with a "Nintendo DS" and drinks in hand. I have always liked to cook, so I like to serve what I want to eat and drink. Outside, I can't pick up grilled fish with pasta, but at home, anything is possible!
Q2: What dishes do you usually prepare when you "drink at home"?
I think it's the grilled chicken wings with yuzu kosho, or the sea bream boiled in soy sauce.... . because they are my favorites (laughs). Also, the best part of drinking at home is being able to pick up a few things and drink them while cooking.
Q3. What is your most memorable "home-drinking" experience?
We invited a sushi chef and an Italian chef to a party at a rich friend's house. The guests were distinguished, but in a sense, it was an unforgettable home-drinking experience, as we ate sushi and Italian food as much as we wanted at home.

Wild Turkey Whiskey
The taste of an 8 year old player.
Aged for eight years, this bottle has a surprisingly delicate flavor despite its high alcohol content. The caramel and vanilla-like sweetness of the wine makes me feel like I've grown up. I dream of drinking it straight someday, but for now, I'm drinking it in highballs and sipping it day by day.

Budweiser Zero
Budweiser anytime, anywhere.
The demand for non-alcoholic beer seems to have gained momentum after the Corona disaster. Perhaps it's the growing health consciousness, or perhaps it's the desire to guzzle it while working remotely.... Budweiser's beer has a "smooth, sweet taste" by removing only the alcohol content, while maintaining the original characteristics of "little bitterness and a refreshing throat sensation. As I write this article, it is the one I want to drink.
