Re: [Dumb Questions] While dining out...

Hi,

I've enjoyed several varieties of Ozeki sake 
in the US and overseas. It's a big seller in
vending machines, but I'm certain they
also have higher quality brews for more
serious consumers.

 In addition, I've had "Akebono" brand tinned crabmeat.
I've also heard of a "Yokozuna" brand of fertilizer that is 
highly regarded by those not burdened with a black thumb like mine.

There must be more stuff out there.
