Back to Okinawa! (Habu Sake)


Yes. You are seeing what you think you are seeing. Those are snakes in those jars. Those snakes are "Habu" one of the most dangerous pit vipers in the world. They are extremely poisonous. Unfortunately that is not formaldehyde in those jars. It is "sake" - a Japanese rice wine. They take the Habu and put it in the sake to make a very potent alcohol. One jar like this costs up to $300+ USD! Don't worry. I didn't drink any!

They sell a lot of the stuff!
