Typhoon 8 & Tama no Hikari

Not a good day for being outside, since we had a Force 8 Typhoon blowing (apart from the rain dancing, which was fun). Surprisingly, or perhaps not, this does nothing to stop commerce on the island! So, having picked up some sake earlier, we headed to Lan Kwai Fong for some Sichuan food. It was certainly funny to see all the "Force 8" dinner specials.


The highlight of my meal: chili chicken... under the piles of fried chilis, there are occasionally pieces of fried chicken. This was deadly.


Tama no Hikari... the middle bottle, a junmai ginjo made from yamada nishiki, was the unanimous favorite. The daiginjo, on the left, was a bit sharp on the finish, while the junmai ginjo on the right was a bit on the sweet and simple side.
