When it snows, let's enjoy "Nabe" & hot sake.

Last Weekend, we had snow in Tokyo. Compared to the other international cities in the world, Tokyo is extremely weak on snow. Trains stop, airport is closed, taxies disappear (as Tokyo taxi drivers are not used to driving in the snow so they stop working afraid of accidents)!!
I took this picture from National Stadium when I went to the gym just to take a hot bath.
Because traffic system goes off the rails, Tokyo residents tend to stay at home on these snowy weather.
At home, you want to enjoy a good meal which will warm you up. In Japan, our favorite menu for those cold days is called "Nabe" cuisine meaning one-pot dish cooked at the table. "Nabe" is extremely popular with variety of different recipes. Most popular type "Nabe" is to cook your favorite meat, seafood and vegetables in the soy sauce based or miso (bean paste) based soup in the pot. Usually we place a portable gas stove on the dining table and family and frends gather and eat your favorite things.
When you have "Nabe" party, the best drink to have with "Nabe" is hot sake.
If you have "Nabe" and hot sake in a warm room, it will make your body and soul happy and warm.
Hospitality Japan.com presents a Sake Set made of Japanese pottery. It comes as a set of 1 container and 2 matching sake cups. Hand-made texture of the pottery makes your sake taste much better.
