We have a new Japanese restaurant that recently opened near us.
They serve something they call "box sake." Instead of the usual
small decanter, they pour into a an open-topped wooden box, about
three inches square, from which you then drink. The sake is
supposedly enhanced by the taste of the wood.


I was sufficiently intrigued by this thread to try drinking sake from a box.
All I can say is that the method must have been invented by a Japanese
"Temperance" organization if they had them long ago! It's very quaint but
cups are much more practical!
