Japan 5 08
School girls and Saki Shops.
When visiting a historic site in a mountain town I was accosted by the school girls who were eager to speak English with me.
What is your name?! Where are you from?! I am afraid my answers only confused them but we had a fine time nonetheless.
In the same town, there were several saki distilleries. Both the distilleries and the retail shops had the huge ball of ? hanging about the entrance. This blog never has been heavy on facts and, with my trip to Japan, it is downright feather weight.
Ball of ? with no explanation will have to suffice unless Jolie cares to post a comment of enlightenment.

it is (according to my sources) called a sugidama - made out of cedar (sugi) branchs. cedar is apparently used at many phases of the sake making process.
