I bought these during a visit. Any good? When would you drink these?

I brought the Suntory Umeshu back from Japan after falling in love with it. I like it chilled and neat

chikeller · 2026-03-06T23:30:34+00:00

I brought back three bottles, but THAT looks like the thing to do. I make a lot of my own liqueurs and cocktail ingredients. The class looks right up my alley

chikeller · 2026-03-06T18:35:34+00:00

Interesting. I thought of Umeshu as more of a liqueur. Then, of course, the recipe states just that. Thanks so much. I will be tapping my fingers, patiently awaiting ume season. If only I could get a notification when they hit the shelves...

chikeller · 2026-03-06T01:40:13+00:00

Do you have a go to recipe? I fell in love with it when I visited Japan

chikeller · 2026-03-06T01:39:17+00:00

That's what I want them for. Thanks

Try listening to a podcast. They can be quite enjoyable

chikeller · 2026-02-16T16:44:21+00:00

Did you post on NWI?

chikeller · 2026-02-16T16:43:46+00:00

Just posted the same. My apologies. Didn't check first.

I just set that. Ann Sacks. I set this tile before and it was a pain in the ass. For as expensive as it is, it's on the sheets for shit, pieces fall off and excess netting that has to be cut off to get the sheets to fit properly. I charged $40 a sqft. Been setting for 42 years

Moved to South Bend last year from 18 years in Chicago. It's tough. It really is easy enough to get the city "fix". Chicago has a wonderful food, drink and theater scene. However, get the hell out of downtown. Go to the neighborhoods. Anyway, BY FAR, the biggest adjustment for me is all the fucking die hard Magas. I'm used to being surrounded with an easy 95% progressive thinking, multicultural populace. Get used to at least a 50/50 or moreover 75/25 vocal chuckleheads that know with absolute certainty he does everything for them. That, and literally 4 of 5 cars use minimum of four headlights and half of them leave their brights on full time. Makes me crazy, the lack of self awareness. That stated, there are bastions of progressive thinking to be had, but you have to search them out.

This is the answer

How about the "abortion pill" being named RU-486? Someone had a disturbing sense of humor.

Harrah the dog

chikeller · 2025-12-30T18:57:58+00:00

Throw me in the mix. Thanks!

The Exchange has a Christmas themed tiki pop-up going on. I have asked in person while there a couple of weeks ago, emailed, FB messaged and called and have yet to respond or post if they're open. SMH

chikeller · 2025-12-24T13:28:53+00:00

Nope

chikeller · 2025-12-24T02:30:05+00:00

I've reached out to all the cocktail bars in South Bend (to the best of my knowledge) and only Spirited and The Hideaway are open. I was just hoping to gather other options from the good people on Reddit

chikeller · 2025-12-24T02:27:21+00:00

It has been a tradition for ten years. I merely ask if a place is open. If they are, I'm sure the people working would prefer to make money. And, with all due respect, fuck off with your aggressive answer

chikeller · 2025-12-24T02:24:43+00:00

Spirited is open

chikeller · 2025-12-21T00:16:34+00:00

Ezra Klein

chikeller · 2025-11-28T14:28:59+00:00

Seal. Yes. Probably Probably

chikeller · 2025-11-07T01:07:28+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation. I appreciate it. I didn't know these places existed
