Cheers! A Japanese traditional celebration




In Japan, we use very big barrel of
japanese rice wine (SAKE) when we
celebrate something like wedding party.

First of all, the person who is celebrated
open a cover of a barrel by a wooden hammer.

Then they treat participants of a party to
the SAKE.








This is a cup of a japanese celebration.
The cup made from wood. We use this
when we toast.
This is japanese traditional celebration
style.

I took these photos at my friends wedding
party in Japan.


" Cheers!"

Really? Do you like Japanese sake?
I love it, too. Because my father worked in sake company, my family always drunk it.
Let's drink it together sometime!

Aki, do you like photography? You seem to be taking lots of great pictures. I really like them. I don't think I have tasted sake. How does it taste like? Will we get drunk easily?
