Habushu



Okinawa is also famous for habushu, a type of liquor that is infused with the unique taste of a poisonous snake (called a habu). You'll find it sold in many stores usually with the poor feller curled up dead at the bottom of the bottle.

Since I was there, I thought I'd give it a go and, well, it tasted pretty much exactly like I thought a drink with a dead snake in it would taste. Sorry, habu.
