>At the New No Da Ji restaurant this weekend, my placemat had an
>advertisement that was mostly written in Japanese.  I couldn't
>figure out what it was for, except that it was something to drink.
>There was a picture of a green bottle with a mountain in brushstrokes,
>and drawings of happy people.  It wasn't clear to me whether the
>beverage was alcoholic or not.
>
>Here's what was in English:
>
>---
>Fresh Combination of Soju and Green Tea
>
>Green tea leaves are picked from Halla mountain of Cheju and Bosang
>of Jeonnam Province.  The most famous two places for Green tea.
>Green tea is effective in dissolving alcohol poisoning.  It has a
>clean taste and refreshes the body and mind.
>---
>
>Out of curiosity, I decided to order some.  Since my waitress spoke
>no English it seemed, I had to point to the advertisement, because
>I didn't know what to call it.  I thought it might be some kind of
>Sake.  The waitress gave me a whole bottle, not simply a glass,
>so I could read the composition.  (Maybe she gave me the bottle
>and not a glass because I pointed to the ad, and the ad pictured
>a whole bottle.)  I was curious about a potentially alcoholic
>beverage that promised to rid you of alcohol poisoning while
>you were drinking it.
>
>It turns out that it is a sweet potato liqueur, flavored with green
>tea extract, called "Saan Soju".  I've never had anything quite like
>it.  It tastes like something between Sake and Vodka, about 40 proof.
