Well today, while I was spending too much time thinking about Fugu, Husband was consulting Japanese cookbooks to learn more about the legendary beverage known as saruzake, or Monkey Sake.

Whether monkeys really brew their own sake or not (and, more importantly, whether people pay huge amounts of money to consume it) is beside the point. The point is that “Monkey Sake” would be a great band name. We’ve finished a soundtrack that could easily be attributed to “Monkey Sake.” Or not.
